Notes
'Royal Dane' rose (Rosa 'Royal Dane') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, 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 upright shrub bears fragrant orange blooms from late spring into early autumn, and bees visit them. Poulsen bred it in 1973.
Pairs well with Green Velvet buxus, Niobe clematis, and Baby's breath.
