Notes
'Sir Winston Churchill' rose (Rosa 'Sir Winston Churchill') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright shrub bears fragrant orange-pink blooms against dark green leaves. Bees visit the flowers from late spring into early autumn. Alexander bred it, and it won a Gold Medal.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Star Gazer lily, Nelly Moser clematis, and Japanese forest grass.
