Notes
'Floradora' rose (Rosa 'Floradora') 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 salmon-orange blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Flowers open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Mathias Tantau bred it in 1943.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Blanket flower, and Green Velvet buxus.
