Notes
'Arabia' rose (Rosa 'Arabia') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, 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 blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy, dark green leaves set them off. Christian Evers bred it.
Pairs well with Gaura, Culver’s root, and Rock rose.
