Notes
'Red-Letter Day' rose (Rosa 'Red-Letter Day') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Deep pink, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer. Bees visit the blooms, and the stems work well in a vase.
Pairs well with Quick Fire panicle hydrangea, Lily, Cornflower, and Pink Hawaiian Coral peony.
