Notes
'Camelot' rose (Rosa 'Camelot') is a vine for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, 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 medium pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. It blooms in late spring, again from early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Swim & Weeks bred it in 1964.
Pairs well with Nelly Moser clematis, Fountain grass, and Joe Pye weed.
