Notes
'Laetitia Casta' rose (Rosa 'Laetitia Casta') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 upright plant grows about 28 to 51 inches tall and has dark green leaves. Fragrant pink blend flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and again in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms, and Meilland International bred it in 2010.
Pairs well with Bartzella peony, Little bluestem, Jackmanii clematis, and Queen of Night tulip.
