Notes
'Opéra' rose (Rosa 'Opéra') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The red blend blooms are fragrant and open from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers. J&P introduced it in 1950.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Stargazer lily, and Nelly Moser clematis.
