Notes
'Zorba' rose (Rosa 'Zorba') is a vine for borders, cottage gardens, and privacy screens. 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 yellow blend flowers are fragrant and bees visit them. Blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. L. Pernille Olesen bred it, and Poulsen Roser introduced it.
Pairs well with Japanese honeysuckle, Ornamental onion, and Big bluestem.
