Notes
'Mercantour' rose (Rosa 'Mercantour') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. The medium yellow blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Colin Dickson bred it in 2007.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Blazing star, and Red twig dogwood.
