Notes
'Victor Borge' rose (Rosa 'Victor Borge') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright plant has dark green leaves and fragrant, apricot blooms that attract bees. Flowers come in late spring, again from early to late summer, and in early autumn. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 1999.
Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Stargazer lily, and Clematis.
