Notes
'Helen Fox' rose (Rosa 'Helen Fox') 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. Its fragrant, medium yellow blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Emmanuel-Denis Buatois bred it in 1928.
Pairs well with Garden phlox, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Bridal wreath spiraea.
