Sizes available: #1 (Trade gallon)

Basics: zones 4-8, 5-8' x 3-4', full sun, fragrant, pale creamsicle-orange flowers in summer, likes soils that are moist, well-drained, and a bit acidic, however, adaptable to all but overly wet soils.

Common names: Rose

Synonyms: Rosa 'Natalija' (part of the Frayla Collection - all of the roses in this collection are named after women in Serbian history), Rosa 'Boznatafra', Rosa 'Mia' (from the Fragrant Bella Series)

Family: Rosaceae

Origin/Distribution: This is a Proven Winners introduction. It was bred by Pheno Geno Roses in Serbia before 2016 and originally introduced in the Netherlands as 'Natalija'

Habitat: I have not been able to ascertain the parentage of this rose yet, so discussing wild habitat is currently moot. However, a good amount of sun and good drainage are key. Will grow well in a pot or mixed border and has reputedly strong, good-looking, healthy foliage. 

More: This is a continuous-blooming rose and therefore will appreciate some fertilization periodically to support all that work. I will be using organic fish emulsion. 'Honey Apricot' has good cut flower potential, but it is new to me, so I will keep you posted. Rose petals are edible and can be enjoyed in salads, desserts, and elixirs, as well as used in skin care products. Deer may eat the flowers before you get a chance to!
