Notes
'Westminster' rose (Rosa 'Westminster') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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 red blend flowers are fragrant and appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. Herbert Robinson bred it in 1960.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, Baby's breath, and Blue grama.
