Notes
'Sunblest' rose (Rosa 'Sunblest') 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. The deep yellow blooms keep their bright color and open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Mathias Tantau, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Sedge, and Great blue lobelia.
