USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, cut flower, garden, landscape or shrub.  Suitable for a pillar.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

This English style shrub rose is a 2004 introduction from Paul Barden. Four inch cupped blooms of a luminous peachy-orange color are borne in clusters of three and five and occasionally singly. Each bloom is packed with 60 to 80 petals and there is a strong fruity fragrance. The bush is a compact, well-rounded grower, reaching a mature size of five to seven feet, depending on climate and culture. ln our test garden (Zone 8), 'Oshun' has exhibited very good blackspot resistance and no winter dieback. lt has also fared extremely well in hot weather, holding its color with little fading. Very reliable repeat.

Fragrance of rose and citrus, holds its color well in hot weather; very disease resistant. Paul Barden, 2004
