Notes
'Terracotta' rose (Rosa 'Terracotta') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The russet blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. It is a sport of 'Leonidas', but less bicolor, and Alain Meilland bred it in 2001.
Pairs well with Bellflower, Artichoke, and Anemone.
