Notes
'Centennial' rose (Rosa 'Centennial') 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 average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant apricot blooms appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and bees and butterflies visit them. Peter Ping Lim bred it in 1953.
Pairs well with Catmint, Brookside crane's-bill, and Snapdragon.
