Notes
'Petite Folie' rose (Rosa 'Petite Folie') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 orange blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Flowers come in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Marie-Louise bred it in 1970.
Pairs well with Mexican hat, Rock rose, and Casa Blanca lily.
