Notes

'Rouge Meilove' rose (Rosa 'Rouge Meilove') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Dark red, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer. Bees visit the blooms, and the bushy habit fills out a bed well.

Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Hyssop, Switchgrass, and Star Gazer lily.
