Notes
'Marlena' rose (Rosa 'Marlena') is a compact shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium red flowers appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Reimer Kordes bred it, and it grows 31 to 39 inches tall.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Prairie dropseed, and Mock orange.
