Notes

'St Christopher' rose (Rosa 'St Christopher') 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. Deep yellow, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer, and bees visit them. R. Harkness & Co. introduced it.

Pairs well with Balloon flower, Ornamental onion, and Blue grama.
