Notes
'Munstead Wood' rose (Rosa 'Munstead Wood') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. David C. H. Austin bred it in 2007. The dark red blooms are fragrant, and butterflies and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Red Charm peony, Feather reed grass, Ornamental onion, and Nelly Moser clematis.
