Notes
'Light My Fire' rose (Rosa 'Light My Fire') 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. The compact plant stays about 30 inches tall and has dark green leaves. Orange-red blooms appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Keith W. Zary bred it in 2008.
Pairs well with Fountain grass, Great blue lobelia, and Joe-pyeweed.
