Notes
'Walter Bentley' rose (Rosa 'Walter Bentley') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 fragrant orange-pink blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Herbert Robinson bred it in 1938.
Pairs well with Blazing star, False indigo, and Fountain grass.
