Notes
'Mardi Gras' rose (Rosa 'Mardi Gras') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Keith W. Zary bred it in 2007. The pink blend flowers are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn.
Pairs well with Blazing star, Virginia sweetspire, and Casa Blanca lily.
