Notes
'Coretta Scott King' rose (Rosa 'Coretta Scott King') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright plant grows about 35 to 59 inches tall and bears fragrant orange blooms that attract bees. Christian Bedard bred it, and the flowers appear from late spring into early autumn.
