What is a Rose Peony?
A rose peony is a peony cultivar which has a strong rose-like scent. Rose peonies grow in USDA zones three through seven in a variety of soil conditions, and they are known for being very hardy and easy to care for, which can be an advantage in the eyes of many gardeners. Classically, these plants are grown in a clustered mass to create a bold patch of color and scent in the garden, although they can also be used as borders along garden paths and some flowerbeds. Like other peonies, the rose peony can get a bit ragged as it grows, which is an important consideration when deciding where to plant it.
