Notes
'Toy Clown' rose (Rosa 'Toy Clown') 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. The bushy plant has medium green leaves and fragrant red blend blooms. Flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Ralph S. Moore bred it in 1966.
Pairs well with Sweet William, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and The President clematis.
