Notes

'Aquarelle' rose (Rosa 'Aquarelle') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, 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. The yellow blend blooms are fragrant and open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Louis Lens bred it in 2012.

Pairs well with Delphinium, Culver’s root, and Niobe clematis.
