Notes
'Shiko' rose (Rosa 'Shiko') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright shrub bears fragrant mauve blooms from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and you can cut stems for bouquets.
Pairs well with Lilac, Jackmanii clematis, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Amsonia.
