Notes
'Siesta' rose (Rosa 'Siesta') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It grows into a bushy mound 18 to 24 inches tall with medium green leaves. Pink blend flowers open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and into early autumn, and bees visit them. Meilland bred it in 2000.
