History – 60 years ago David Austin began breeding roses. His goal was a simple one, more beautiful roses.
Austin roses are known for their spectacular beauty and amazing fragrances. With a wonderful color range and repeat flowering, you couldn’t ask for a better rose.
Throw in outstanding health, reliability and vigor….along with a 5-year guarantee from the website? Why would anyone want to get their roses anywhere else?
Now, these are not your everyday roses – Austin roses are graceful and shrubby in their growth habits with repeating blooms and fragrances you just can’t find anywhere else.
I have grown them in borders and containers. I have dug them up from one garden in Virginia to take to another garden when I moved to Pennsylvania, and brought them back to Virginia when I moved home. I still have 2 of them blooming like crazy, over 20 years later!
Right now, I am considering a hedge of them across the front of my yard, along a white picket fence – once I can decide on which ones to use!
My 8 favorite David Austin roses are below. And let me tell you – it wasn’t easy getting the list to 8!
