Notes
'Gift of Life' rose (Rosa 'Gift of Life') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant yellow blend blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Harkness bred it in 1999.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Mondo grass, Artichoke, and Anemone.
