Notes

'Imogen' rose (Rosa 'Imogen') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. Large clusters of pale yellow flowers have ruffled petals and a light to medium fruity fragrance. Each bloom has a button eye of darker yellow, and bees visit them. David C. H. Austin bred it.

Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Ox-eye daisy, Queen of Night tulip, and Blue Angel hosta.
