Notes
'Medusa' rose (Rosa 'Medusa') is a 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. The deep pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again from early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Werner Noack bred it in 1996.
Pairs well with Lilac, Fountain grass, and Niobe clematis.
