Notes
'Midas Touch' rose (Rosa 'Midas Touch') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The deep yellow blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Jack E. Christensen bred it in 1994. Black spot and mildew are big problems in humid places, so give it good air flow.
Pairs well with Coral Sunset peony, Little Gem southern magnolia, Anemone, and Tuberose.
