Notes
'Puccini' rose (Rosa 'Puccini') 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 upright plant has medium green leaves and pink blend blooms. Its fragrant flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Louis Lens bred it in 1984.
Pairs well with Sarah Bernhardt peony, Niobe clematis, and Sweet William.
