Notes
'Picasso' rose (Rosa 'Picasso') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, 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 pink blend flowers are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Samuel Darragh bred it in 1971.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Casa Blanca lily, and Maltese cross.
