Notes
'Ottavio Missoni' rose (Rosa 'Ottavio Missoni') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 upright plant grows about 43 inches tall and bears fragrant red blend blooms. Flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn, and bees visit them. Beatrice Barni bred it in 2014.
Pairs well with Gaura, Stargazer lily, and Buffalo grass.
