Notes
'Windermere' rose (Rosa 'Windermere') 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 sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant white blooms appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and they attract butterflies and bees. David C. H. Austin bred it in 2006.
Pairs well with Purple cranesbill, Lavender, Cat mint, and Feather reed grass.
