Notes
'Marsh Cottage' rose (Rosa 'Marsh Cottage') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, 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. Deep pink blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. It also produces excellent hips. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2005.
Pairs well with Fountain grass, Ox-eye daisy, and Purple Pillar rose of sharon.
