Notes
'Suntan' rose (Rosa 'Suntan') 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. The fragrant russet blooms are coppery-orange and attract bees. Interplant B.V. introduced it in 1992, and Gerrit Pieter Ilsink bred it.
Pairs well with Bartzella peony, Nelly Moser clematis, and Fragrant Bouquet hosta.
