David Austin Roses

David Austin roses, created in 1970,are the creation of a man who started his own nursery, in order to introduce his new breed of English roses.

.

These English roses have the look of old garden roses, with the recurrent blooming abilty, vigouros growth,disease resistance, and wonderful color selection of modern roses. They combine the best features of both types.

These David Austin roses exhibit a shrubby growth habit with dense foliage and fragrant blooms, very similiar to the beloved Old Garden Roses.

David Austin is very commited to producing these roses, and continues his work today.

They are grown today in almost every developed country in the world. If you've always dreamed of having a beautiful English rose garden, these magnificent roses, will give you the garden of your dreams.

They are available in a large range of colors, sizes, and fragrances, thus making them adaptable to most landscape situations.

I must confess, that David Austin himself, is partly responsible for MY beautiful rose garden! I had many gardens, and although i LOVED roses, I had only a handful of rose plants. I thought (like many of you) that roses were to fussy and to difficult to grow. Then, I came across a catalog (Heirloom Roses) with so... many pictures of breathtaking old garden roses (lots of David Austin roses )I spent the day looking at that catalog! My mind was made up. I would have a rose garden! The rest is "History" as they say...

Watch the video below for a tour of his beautiful gardens!

Lots of ideas to (borrow)!

want more pictures of David Austin Roses and gardens.

These are wonderful books, loaded with information on these beautiful roses! Great reference guide, filled with pictures.

Constance Spry

Constance Spry One of the most loved of all the David Austin Roses. This climber grows to 12 feet. The lovely pink, double blooms are very large.

Once flowering. Hardy zones 6-9

Winchester Cathedral

Winchester Cathedral Slightly arching bush grows 3-4 feet. Profilic white flowers have a strong fragrance. (especially in warmer climates)

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare Double Rosette blooms are deep crimson, aging to rich royal purple. Grows 4-5 feet. Continous bloomer. Heady, old rose fragrance. Hardy zone 5-10

Abraham Darby

One of the most admired of all English Roses, this robust shrub bears sumptuous cup-shaped blossoms of peachy apricot with hints of yellow and pink. Prized for its bold, fruity fragrance and quick repeat bloom, Abraham Darby® is an outstanding performer either as a freestanding bush or a small climber.

Hardy zones 5-10

Lady Emma Hamiliton

David Austin himself describes this English Musk Rose as a departure from his usual palette of pastel colors. Dark buds open to graceful tangerine-shaded blooms with a lighter reverse. Their strong fruity scent won top honors at fragrance trials in France. The foliage of Lady Emma Hamilton is impressive even out of flower, emerging a bronzy green and then turning dark green. Plants are bushy and upright, of medium height. Zones 5-9

Strawberry Hill

The medium-sized, double, pure rose-pink blossoms of Strawberry Hill have a fine myrrh fragrance, with hints of lemon, that won it the 2007 Prix d'Honneur for fragrance. Tall, gently arching branches make this David Austin® shrub Rose a perfect choice for back-of-the-border locations.

Queen of Sweden

As delightful as antique porcelain, these glowing pink blooms are medium-size, yet contain about 140 petals! The round buds open to shallow cups with just a hint of apricot and a light myrrh scent. Disease-resistance and a few thorns make this a reliable, easy shrub. The flowers last well when cut.

Graham Thomas

Bears flushes of double, clear yellow, fragrant blooms throughout the season on 4ft (taller in mild climates) shrubs. Superb as a climbing Rose. From British rosarian David Austin, the English Roses combine the flower forms and fragrance of old Roses with the repeat-blooming character of modern Roses. Excellent cut flowers.
