Notes
'The Lark Ascending' rose (Rosa 'The Lark Ascending') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Apricot blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. David C. H. Austin bred it. Watch for thorns when you prune or cut stems.
Pairs well with The President clematis, Blue fescue, and Stargazer lily.
