Notes
'Earl Haig' rose (Rosa 'Earl Haig') 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 bushy plant has dark green leaves and fragrant, medium red blooms that attract bees. It flowers in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Hugh Dickson bred it in 1921.
Pairs well with Pink, Fountain grass, and Blue jasmine.
