Notes
'Paparoa' rose (Rosa 'Paparoa') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. The medium pink blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2010.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Gladiolus.
