Notes
'Morten' rose (Rosa 'Morten') is a shrub for borders and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows upright with dark green leaves and fragrant red blooms. Ralph S. Moore bred it in 1991. Give it plenty of room, since it can spread 60 to 96 inches wide.
Pairs well with Delphinium, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Pincushion flower.
