Notes
'Tobago' rose (Rosa 'Tobago') 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. Georges Delbard bred it in 1982. The fragrant apricot blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Mountain laurel, Greig's tulip, and Swamp milkweed.
