Notes

'Ausmary' rose (Rosa 'Ausmary') is a shrub for borders and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average moisture. It grows in a bushy shape that reaches 48 to 60 inches tall and wide. The double pink blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. David C. H. Austin bred it in 1983.

Pairs well with Siebold's hosta, Spiderwort, and Gladiolus.
