Notes
'Melusina' rose (Rosa 'Melusina') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Orange-pink blooms with a sweet fragrance open from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and the dark green leaves form a bushy mound. Rosen Tantau introduced it.
Pairs well with Catnip, Ornamental onion, and Blue grama.
