'Yankee Doodle' rose (Rosa 'Yankee Doodle') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 fragrant blooms are peach-pink to orange with a yellow reverse, and bees visit them. It blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Reimer Kordes bred it.
