Notes
'Tahiti' rose (Rosa 'Tahiti') 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. Yellow blend blooms are fragrant and open in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Francis Meilland bred it in 1947.
Pairs well with Blue Chiffon rose of sharon, Fountain grass, Niobe clematis, and Garlic chives.
