Notes
'El Paso' rose (Rosa 'El Paso') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 yellow blend blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. John Ohlson bred it in 1988.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Royal Purple smoketree, and Big bluestem.
