Notes
'Arizona' rose (Rosa 'Arizona') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant blooms are coppery orange and attract bees. It flowers in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Herbert C. Swim and O. L. Weeks bred it in 1974.
Pairs well with Hummelo betony, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Nelly Moser clematis.
