Notes
'Saturnia' rose (Rosa 'Saturnia') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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 red blend blooms are fragrant and open in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy, dark green leaves look neat all season. Domenico Aicardi bred it in 1936.
Pairs well with Cora Louise peony, Little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
