I have a large garden of roses including English roses, hybrid teas, floribundas, shrubs, climbers, and tree roses; about 60 roses total. I find the David Austin roses to be very healthy and prolific--as well as having delightful form and fragrance. |

All have established themselves quickly, flowering really well in their first summer. My Mother loves cutting them for the house and almost every time I visited last summer, I noticed that she had a little fragrant posy proudly displayed on her mantlepiece. |

So far I have 3 Winchester Cathedral, a Constance Spry, 2 Teasing Georgia and a Pat Austin. They are by far the best roses I have ever come across being resistant and prolific and with beautiful scent. So far, mine have all beeen purchased direct and I have always found the staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - and if they don't know personally, then they find some one who does - they don't fob you off with gobble-de-gook. My next purchases will probably be from the traditional collections - 2 white climbing/rambling types to replace losses occurred some years ago - a 'Mme Alfred Carrière' and an ' Albéric Barbier' both varieties over 100 years old - I would also like a 'Rambling Rector' if I can find room, but it isn't called 'rambling' for nothing - perfect for covering an ugly shed, wall or other eyesore. May I recommend to our US gardening friends that if they are unsure about growing these roses, they contact the Company, tell them your concerns and follow there recommendations. I personally live quite far North in the UK and they take all that the weather throws at them - most recently downpours of rain followed by really scorching days. If you do find yourself in the UK and can get to Albrighton - a speedy drive out from Wolverhampton - you will truly fall in love with the roses - and you can get a light lunch or snack or a very English teatime treat with home-made cakes! |
