'Picotee' rose (Rosa 'Picotee') 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. It stays small at 18 to 24 inches tall and has an upright habit. The red blend blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Frank A.
