Notes
'Apricot Nectar' rose (Rosa 'Apricot Nectar') 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 upright shrub bears fragrant apricot blooms from late spring into early autumn, and bees visit them. Eugene S. Boerner bred it in 1965.
Pairs well with David garden phlox, Prairie dropseed, and Grape hyacinth.
