Notes
'Caribbean' rose (Rosa 'Caribbean') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 fragrant apricot blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Wilhelm Kordes III bred it in 1992.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Joe Pye weed, and Mexican hat.
