Notes
'Humdinger' rose (Rosa 'Humdinger') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 orange-pink blooms appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Ernest W. Schwartz bred it in 1976.
Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Jackmanii clematis, David garden phlox, and Little bluestem.
