Notes
'Charles Darwin' rose (Rosa 'Charles Darwin') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The bushy plant bears fragrant, medium yellow blooms that attract bees. Flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and again in autumn. David C. H. Austin bred it.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Baby's breath, and Niobe clematis.
