Notes
'Claire Austin' rose (Rosa 'Claire Austin') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The white blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. The arching canes can reach about 12 feet tall. David C. H. Austin bred it in 2007.
Pairs well with Lilac, Casa Blanca lily, Niobe clematis, and Blue fescue.
