Notes
'Flavorette Honey-Apricot' rose (Rosa 'Flavorette Honey-Apricot') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant apricot flowers are fully double and attract bees. It blooms on new wood, so prune it back by at least one third as buds emerge in spring. Peter Cox bred it.
Pairs well with Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, Quick Fire panicle hydrangea, and Niobe clematis.
