Notes
'Wavria' rose (Rosa 'Wavria') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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 orange-red blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Louis Lens bred it in 1979.
Pairs well with False indigo, Little bluestem, and Blazing star.
