Notes
'Fighting Temeraire' rose (Rosa 'Fighting Temeraire') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen plantings, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant apricot blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. David C. H. Austin bred it.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Clematis, and Blue mistflower.
