Notes
'Norman Lambert' rose (Rosa 'Norman Lambert') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, 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. The upright canes have few or no thorns. Fragrant orange blooms attract bees from late spring into early autumn. Samuel McGredy II bred it in 1926.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, Fountain grass, and Guacamole hosta.
