Notes
'Emily Bronte' rose (Rosa 'Emily Bronte') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The soft pink and apricot blooms have 106 petals and a strong tea scent with hints of lemon and grapefruit. It flowers again after the first flush, and it tolerates more shade than most roses. David Austin Roses Ltd introduced it.
Pairs well with Sarah Bernhardt peony, Niobe clematis, and Stargazer lily.
