Notes

'Peter-Paul Rubens' rose (Rosa 'Peter-Paul Rubens') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. 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 fragrant apricot blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Martin Vissers bred it.

Pairs well with David garden phlox, Blue fescue, Niobe clematis, and Coral Sunset peony.
