Notes
'Poppy Flash' rose (Rosa 'Poppy Flash') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 fragrant, orange-red blooms attract bees and open in late spring, again in summer, and again in early autumn. Marie-Louise bred it in 1972.
Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Switchgrass, and Casa Blanca lily.
