Notes
'Top Gun' rose (Rosa 'Top Gun') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium red, fragrant blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and again in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Thomas F. Carruth bred it in 2018.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Creeping phlox, and Stargazer lily.
