Notes
'Beautiful Britain' rose (Rosa 'Beautiful Britain') 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. Its orange to orange-red blooms have a darker reverse and a sweet scent. They appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Patrick Dickson bred it in 1983.
