Notes

'Mrs. Anthony Waterer' rose (Rosa 'Mrs. Anthony Waterer') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, hedges, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and loamy or clay soil. Deep crimson, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees. The shrub spreads wide, so give it room. John Waterer Sons & Crisp Ltd bred it in 1898.

Pairs well with Spiked speedwell, Ice Follies daffodil, and Ernest Markham clematis.
