Windermere does fantastically in my garden (6a/b in Lancaster, PA). This year (2013) has been extremely rainy, but it still only very, very little blackspot. I planted this (from a 3.83 gal. pot) in 2008, only lightly pruned/cut it back the first few years to see how it wanted to grow. With a 1/2 cut in fall now, it tries very hard to reach over 6 feet tall. It's starting to really widen, too. I've never really restrained its width; it's about 5 feet wide. It grows very stiffly upright, and only falls forward with heavy rains. (I should mention, W grows partially under the overhang of a porch, so it does have some protection from rain and harsh sun). Grows on the southern side of my back porch. (I had Iceberg right beside it--and it suffered from failure to thrive, big time). Even though the petals fracture easily and quickly, I really enjoy the citrusy smell and soft white of the blooms. Overall, a great rose from this zone/climate. And I appreciate a rose that leaf's out all around the bush...you know, making it look like a bush, and not a stick insect (cough, HT, cough).

Got a good whiff of this variety at the nearby rose garden (Mornington, Victoria, Australia) today. I've sniffed it previously, but this was the first time I remember actually smelling the fragrance (most times when I go there it's too hot, or late in the day, to smell anything from most of the roses I know to be fragrant). Really really liked the fragrance. Definite lemony smell, which I love. Grows into a very bushy shrub here, at least 4 foot tall and probably just as wide. Seems susceptible to mildew, though, which I have noticed previously, but is also prolific with its flowers.
