Notes
'Letchworth Garden City' rose (Rosa 'Letchworth Garden City') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Harkness & Co bred it in 1978. The fragrant orange-pink blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Lilac, Culver’s root, and Japanese forest grass.
