Notes

'Guinevere' rose (Rosa 'Guinevere') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant apricot blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Harkness New Roses, Ltd. introduced it in 2001.

Pairs well with Lanceleaf coreopsis, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Obedient plant.
