Notes
'Antigua' rose (Rosa 'Antigua') 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. It grows about 35 inches tall and 24 inches wide. The fragrant apricot blooms attract bees and open from late spring into early autumn. William A. Warriner bred it in 1974.
Pairs well with Gaura, Delphinium, Nelly Moser clematis, and Virginia sweetspire.
