Control individual page rotation in R PDF output

Based on some other threads, I found out how to make some pages portrait and some landscape in R (see code below).

What I cannot seem to find is how to rotate the landscape pages by 90 degrees so they are legible.

Explanation below:

Create a "header.tex" file in your working directory, and save it with this text:

\usepackage{lscape}
\newcommand{\blandscape}{\begin{landscape}}
\newcommand{\elandscape}{\end{landscape}}

Then, run the below code:

---
title: "PortraitLandscape"
author: "John"
date: "September 1, 2015"
output: 
  pdf_document:
    includes:
      in_header: header.tex
---


Portrait
```{r}
summary(cars)
```

\newpage
\blandscape

Landscape
```{r, echo=FALSE}
plot(cars)
```

\elandscape

The second page will look like this:

The second page should look like this:

While still leaving it in landscape, how can I make it rotated, like this?

You can use \pdfpageattr. Adapting from this question (on tex.SE):

header.tex

\usepackage{lscape}

\newcommand{\blandscape}{
  \begin{landscape}
  \pagebreak[4]\global\pdfpageattr\expandafter{\the\pdfpageattr/Rotate 90}}
\newcommand{\elandscape}{
  \end{landscape}
  \pagebreak[4]\global\pdfpageattr\expandafter{\the\pdfpageattr/Rotate 0}}
