Notes
'Desdemona' rose (Rosa 'Desdemona') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright shrub grows to about 47 inches tall and bears fragrant white flowers that bees visit. It blooms in late spring, summer, and autumn, and David Austin Roses Ltd. introduced it in 2015.
Pairs well with Baby's breath, Jackmanii clematis, Stargazer lily, and Virginia sweetspire.
