Notes
'Zambra' rose (Rosa 'Zambra') is a compact shrub for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 blooms open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Marie-Louise Meilland bred it in 1961.
Pairs well with Fountain grass, Green Velvet buxus, Pink, and Little bluestem.
