Notes
'Top Marks' rose (Rosa 'Top Marks') is a compact shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 orange-red blooms appear in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Gareth Fryer bred it.
Pairs well with Switchgrass, Clematis, and Arrowwood viburnum.
