Notes
'Amber Sun' rose (Rosa 'Amber Sun') is a shrub for borders, 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. W. Kordes Sohne bred it in 2006 as a sport of 'Glowing Amber'. The low, bushy plant bears fragrant apricot blooms that attract bees, and it flowers all season.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Queen of Night tulip, and Nelly Moser clematis.
