Notes
'Gladys Benskin' rose (Rosa 'Gladys Benskin') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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. Alexander Dickson II bred it in 1929. The upright plant bears fragrant orange-pink blooms from late spring to early autumn, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Yarrow, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Nelly Moser clematis, and Blue star creeper.
