Notes

'Oso Easy Lemon Zest' rose (Rosa 'Oso Easy Lemon Zest') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Yellow, fragrant flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Christopher H. Warner bred it.

Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Duchesse de Nemours peony.
