Notes
'Camélia' rose (Rosa 'Camélia') 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. The bushy plant has dark green leaves and fragrant orange-red blooms from late spring into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Emil Heizmann bred it in 1948.
