Notes
'Port Sunlight' rose (Rosa 'Port Sunlight') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant apricot blooms open in spring, summer, and autumn, and bees and butterflies visit them. David C. H. Austin bred it in 2007.
Pairs well with Lavender, Catmint, Lady's mantle, and Purple cranesbill.
