Notes
'Holy Toledo' rose (Rosa 'Holy Toledo') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 fragrant apricot blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Jack E. Christensen bred it in 1979. It stays bushy and compact, and it is easy to grow.
Pairs well with Buckeye Belle peony, Blue grama, and Japanese holly.
