Type II supernovae play a major role in the dynamics of the interstellar medium. The interstellar medium in which such supernovae evolve is often considerably modified by the strong stellar winds both from the progenitor and other nearby stars. The result is that the appearance and energetics of the remnants can be very different from that of remnants in a uniform medium. In this paper we will consider the evolution of supernova remnants in stellar wind bubbles including the effect of departures from spherical symmetry. The aim is to understand both the appearance of such remnants and their effect on the overall energetics of the interstellar medium.
