Notes
'Ena Baxter' rose (Rosa 'Ena Baxter') 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 fragrant, salmon-pink blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and the large, glossy leaves stay medium green. Anne G. Cocker bred it in 1990.
Pairs well with Oakleaf hydrangea, Japanese forest grass, Niobe clematis, and Cornflower.
