Notes
'Lincoln Cathedral' rose (Rosa 'Lincoln Cathedral') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 fragrant orange blend blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. George W.T. Langdale bred it in 1986.
