Notes
'Bradford' rose (Rosa 'Bradford') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The bushy plant stays compact, with dark green leaves and fragrant yellow blend blooms. Bees visit the flowers from late spring into early autumn. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2010.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Big bluestem, and Ornamental onion.
