More information
David Austin introduced Windrush as an improved form of Golden Wings; Windrush, however, does not have the red stamens of its progenitor. The flowers are pale lemon, then quickly fade to cream and white, with the color change starting at the edges and moving toward the center, which bears a cluster of bright yellow stamens. Blooms are carried in erect clusters of 3–11, followed by a crop of large, rounded hips. Deadheading prolongs the flowering period. The shrub is prickly, medium-sized, generally disease resistant, with only slight susceptibility to powdery mildew. It flowers very freely and is among the earliest roses to bloom in cold climates, a trait derived from Altaica.
This is a large shrub producing delicate yellow semi-double flowers. Although fully open blooms fade quickly, the stamens remain clearly visible, and their darker tone contrasts with the light petals. It re-blooms quickly, and because it is vigorous, there are few summer intervals without flowers. Regular removal of spent blooms maintains continuous flowering; if deadheading is stopped in autumn, the shrub soon sets hips. A strong variety with good disease resistance.
