English Shrub Rose David Austin® Windermere™ 3 Gallon

Rosa spp.

This English shrub rose family features the finest classic rose attributes with a hardier growth habit. David Austin® Windermere™, is a compact, well-branched shrub rose displaying full-cupped creamy flowers with yellow undertones that bloom in flushes throughout the season. This rose has a moderate, fruity citrus fragrance. Use as a specimen rose or border accent. Plant in well-drained, amended soil at least 2-4 feet apart. Water well after planting, and maintain 1" of water, once per week, for the first year. Prune down to the uppermost new growth in early spring. Feed at least three times (when fully leafed out, after the first bloom, and again in August) during the growing season with a slow-release fertilizer per label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and protect against the extremes of soil temperature. Deadhead and clean around the base of the plant as much as possible. Keep an insect and disease control geared for roses on hand. Wrap in burlap or spray with Wilt-stop to protect from winter desiccation and mulch the base 4-6" in late November.
