Notes
'Benson and Hedges Gold' rose (Rosa 'Benson and Hedges Gold') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant yellow blend blooms open from early to late summer on a bushy habit. Bees visit the flowers. Mattock introduced it in 1979.
