Notes
'Peach Melba' rose (Rosa 'Peach Melba') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant yellow blend blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Patrick Dickson bred it in 1960.
Pairs well with Bartzella peony, Fountain grass, and Sweet William.
