Notes
'Highlight' rose (Rosa 'Highlight') 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. The orange blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Herbert Robinson bred it in 1957.
Pairs well with Ornamental onion, Green Velvet buxus, and Buckeye Belle peony.
