Notes
'Pepita' rose (Rosa 'Pepita') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It stays bushy and compact, with dark green leaves and deep pink blooms that attract bees. Flowers open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Tim-Hermann Kordes bred it in 2004.
Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Little Lime panicle hydrangea, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
