Notes
'Super Excelsa' rose (Rosa 'Super Excelsa') is a climbing shrub for borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows about 94 to 122 inches tall and wide, so give it a sturdy support. Medium red flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies visit the blooms.
