About David Austin® Windermere Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘AUShomer’ PPAF Windermere
Windermere is an elegant English Shrub Rose introduced by David Austin in 2007. Named after the largest lake in England’s Lake District, it opens as rich creamy-yellow buds that fade to ivory-white in full sun, revealing full, cupped, cabbage-shaped blooms. A deliciously fruity fragrance with a citrus hint delights the senses, while the tidy, compact shrub habit and excellent health make it a standout in a range of garden settings.
