Notes
'Petaluma' rose (Rosa 'Petaluma') 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. It has a spreading habit and dark green leaves. Red blend flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2005.
Pairs well with Coral Sunset peony, David garden phlox, Fountain grass, and Niobe clematis.
