Notes
'Rote Max Graf' rose (Rosa 'Rote Max Graf') is a shrub for ground cover, borders, 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. Its spreading habit lets it cover a slope or the front of a bed. Fragrant medium red blooms open from early to late summer and attract bees. Reimer Kordes bred it in 1980.
Pairs well with Blue star creeper, Star Gazer lily, and Blue grama.
