Notes
'Orange Sensation' rose (Rosa 'Orange Sensation') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The orange-red blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Gerrit De Ruiter bred it in 1961. It forms a bushy mound of dark green leaves.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Cora Louise peony, and Garlic chives.
