Notes
'Kosmos Fairy Tale' rose (Rosa 'Kosmos Fairy Tale') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant cream flowers have a peach glow in the center and are packed with ruffled petals. Blooms come in spring, summer, and autumn, and bees visit them. Tim Hermann Kordes bred it in 2006.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Nelly Moser clematis, and Lily.
