Notes
'Kolo' rose (Rosa 'Kolo') 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. Fragrant mauve blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2012.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Stargazer lily, and Smoketree.
