Notes
'Taos' rose (Rosa 'Taos') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Apricot blooms open from early to late summer and have a sweet scent. Bees visit the flowers. Poulsen Roser introduced it in 2002.
Pairs well with Gladiator ornamental onion, Hummelo betony, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
