Notes
'Piccadilly' rose (Rosa 'Piccadilly') 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. Its fragrant red blend blooms open in late spring, again from early to late summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Samuel Darragh bred it in 1960.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, The President clematis, and Royal Purple smoketree.
