Notes
'Larissa' rose (Rosa 'Larissa') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Light pink flowers open in late spring, then return from early to late summer and again in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms, and Tim-Hermann Kordes bred it in 2009.
Pairs well with Woolly yarrow, Smooth hydrangea, Stargazer lily, and Black-eyed Susan.
