Notes

'Honey Bee' rose (Rosa 'Honey Bee') is a shrub for mass planting, border accents, and fragrant flower beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The golden yellow flowers open wide, so bees can reach the pollen. They bloom in summer and again in early to mid autumn, and they have a sweet, wild rose fragrance. Plants grow 3 to 4 feet high and wide.

Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Monkshood, and Snowdrop.
