'Roger’s Prize' peony (Paeonia 'Roger’s Prize') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Its semi-double blooms are raspberry pink to red, with yellow stamens in the center.
