Notes
'Candlelight' rose (Rosa 'Candlelight') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 deep yellow blooms are fragrant and appear from late spring into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Jack E. Christensen bred it in 1982.
