Notes
'Forever Amber' rose (Rosa 'Forever Amber') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and hedges. 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 apricot blooms have an English style form and a strong fruity fragrance. Tom Carruth bred it, and it blooms again through the season. Bees visit the flowers, and the glossy dark green leaves stay compact.
Pairs well with Sarah Bernhardt peony, Niobe clematis, and Blue Angel hosta.
