Notes
'Apache' rose (Rosa 'Apache') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimens, and cut flowers. 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 fragrant orange-pink blooms appear in late spring, again from early to late summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Gordon J. Von Abrams bred it in 2009.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Stargazer lily, and Pink Hawaiian Coral peony.
