Notes
'Dawn Chorus' rose (Rosa 'Dawn Chorus') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 orange flowers have yellow undertones and bloom in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Colin Dickson bred it in 1993.
Pairs well with Amsonia, Japanese forest grass, and Culver’s root.
