Windrush Rose

In my opinion Windrush is one of David Austin's most successful roses for a country garden, blending the old-fashioned look with robust growth and repeat flowering. I grow it on the hitching rail by the Stables.

 The flowers are medium sized.

The flowers are semi-double, a soft golden yellow, with prominent darker stamens. The colours remind me of honey on toast. Windrush has extremely pointy buds, too.

 A beautiful David Austin rose.

I get the feeling that the rose books don't share my feelings about the rose Windrush. My big book has a small paragraph and no picture. My David Austin English Roses book doesn't bother to list Windrush at all! Well, they're both very wrong! It's a delightful rose.
