Notes
'Telluride' rose (Rosa 'Telluride') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 pink blend flowers are fragrant and attract bees. Blooms open in late spring, again from early to late summer, and into early autumn. Olesen bred it in 1998.
Pairs well with Bridal wreath spiraea, Blue wild indigo, and Sum and Substance hosta.
