Notes
'Playboy' rose (Rosa 'Playboy') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Alec Cocker bred it in 1940. The red blend blooms are fragrant and attract bees. They open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and again in early autumn.
Pairs well with Blue wild indigo, Fountain grass, and Blue star.
