Notes
'Little Sunset' rose (Rosa 'Little Sunset') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It stays small at 10 to 16 inches tall and has an upright habit with dark green leaves. Yellow blend flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Reimer Kordes bred it in 1968.
Pairs well with Fountain grass, Stained Glass hosta, and Butterfly bush.
