'Irish Gold' rose (Rosa 'Irish Gold') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant, medium yellow blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers.
