Notes
'Elysium' rose (Rosa 'Elysium') 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 fragrant orange-pink blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. W. Kordes & Sons bred it in 1961.
Pairs well with Big bluestem, Culver’s root, and Ornamental onion.
