Notes
'Dr Faust' rose (Rosa 'Dr Faust') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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 bushy plant grows to about 59 inches tall and bears fragrant yellow blend blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Reimer Kordes bred it in 1957.
Pairs well with Lanceleaf coreopsis, Ornamental onion, and Japanese forest grass.
