Notes

'Kissing Ayoba' rose (Rosa 'Kissing Ayoba') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The red blend blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Kordes bred it, and Ludwig's Roses introduced it.

Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Nelly Moser clematis, and Amsonia.
