Notes
'Molineux' rose (Rosa 'Molineux') is a compact shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deep yellow, fragrant blooms open in spring, summer, and autumn, and bees and butterflies visit them. David C. H. Austin bred it.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Queen of Night tulip, and Royal Purple smoketree.
