Notes

'Roman Holiday' rose (Rosa 'Roman Holiday') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, 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. The bushy plant has dark green leaves and fragrant red blend blooms that attract bees. It flowers in late spring, through summer, and again in early autumn. Robert V. Lindquist bred it in 1966.

Pairs well with Switchgrass, Baby's breath, and Inkberry.
