Notes
'Los Angeles' rose (Rosa 'Los Angeles') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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. The fragrant orange-pink blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Frederick Huber Howard bred it, and H&S introduced it in 1916.
Pairs well with Delphinium, Creeping thyme, and Lily.
