Notes
'Postillion' rose (Rosa 'Postillion') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Medium yellow, fragrant flowers open in late spring, again from early to late summer, and in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Reimer Kordes bred it in 2006.
Pairs well with Foxglove, Prairie dropseed, and Jackmanii clematis.
