Notes
'Bengali' rose (Rosa 'Bengali') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant orange-pink blooms open in late spring, repeat through summer, and return in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy foliage looks good between flushes. Kordes Rosen introduced it in 2011.
Pairs well with Artichoke, Stained Glass hosta, Anemone, and Tea plant.
