Notes
'Sonnenwelt' rose (Rosa 'Sonnenwelt') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Tim Hermann Kordes bred it in 2012.
Pairs well with Switchgrass, Sea holly, and Blue mistflower.
