Notes
'Mission Bells' rose (Rosa 'Mission Bells') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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. It has a bushy habit and dark green leaves. The fragrant pink blend blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Theodore John Morris bred it in 1949.
Pairs well with Ornamental onion, Creeping phlox, and Indian grass.
