STORY BEHIND THE ROSE
THE ENGLISH ROSE
David Austin’s English Roses are not like other roses. These
roses quickly form magnificent shrubs and climbers which
make great impact in the garden. They are reliable and
easy to grow, with a vigor which contrasts with the delicate
charm and beauty of their many petalled, scented blooms.
Magnificent Garden Shrubs
• English Roses form shapely shrubs with bushy growth and
stunning multi-petalled blooms.
• Unlike the old roses, the English Roses are available in many
different colors.
Wonderfully Fragrant
• Renowned for their strong and diverse fragrances.
• Fragrances include old rose, tea, myrrh, fruity and musk.
Repeat-Flowering
• Provide blooms over a long season.
Beautiful Fragrant Climbers
• English Roses are some of the best of all climbing plants,
flowering down to the base.
• Train against pillars, obelisks, walls, arches, pergolas,
trellises and post and rail fences.
Highly Versatile
• Ideal for mixed flower beds, traditional rose borders,
fragrant hedges, large pots and containers, for cutting or landscaping.
• Perform well in partial shade.
• Grow well in a wide variety of climates.
Health
• Bred for vigor and superb garden performance with
outstanding disease resistance.
• Trialled under rigorous conditions for eight years.
Fragrance Story
Our press releases are also available to wholesale customers for
use in their own marketing initiatives. Please ask for details. Here
is a shortened version of ‘The Perfumed Garden’ press release:
David Austin’s obsession with the strength, character and
quality of each rose’s scent means that the English Roses offer
the gardener an intriguing array of fragrances.
• The weather conditions, while the petals are still forming within
the bud, influence the quality and strength of an individual
bloom’s perfume.
• Fragrance is intensified by warm, humid weather.
• A flower smells differently in the morning, at midday and in
the evening. A rose bud smells slightly different to the partly or
fully open flower. Characteristic, complex notes often appear
as the bloom ages.
• Most of the fragrance of a rose is held in the petals, although
the stamens often have musky or clove scents.
Fragrance In The English Roses
During the eight year trialling process, David Austin works with
perfumier, Robert Calkin, to assess the character and strength
of each rose’s fragrance.
• One of Robert’s tips is to learn to explore rose scents by
comparing two roses side by side to highlight their differences
and similarities.
• The unusual scent, myrrh, appeared in 1961 with David
Austin’s first rose, the once flowering ‘Constance Spry’, reputed
to have been Steve Jobs’s favorite rose.
• Everyone has a very individual perception of fragrance:
scents evoke different memories and responses.
Fragrance Types
English Roses can be grouped into five fragrance types,
although there is much interplay between them.
• Myrrh has the aromatic, licorice warmth of sweet anise.
Amongst roses, it is now almost exclusively confined to the
English Roses, although it can be found in other plants, such as
Lilac and Hawthorn. Best: ‘Wollerton Old Hall’.
• Fruity - the rose is related to many fruits, including apples,
pears, raspberries, strawberries and apricots. Best: ‘Lady Emma
Hamilton’.
• Musk - even a small amount of the romantic musk rose scent
will perfume the air. The source of the scent is frequently the
stamens. Best: ‘The Generous Gardener’.
• Old Rose - David Austin’s favorite rose fragrance is the classic
old rose, which he believes is the most alluring of all the rose
fragrances. Best: ‘Gertrude Jekyll’.
• Tea Rose - often compared to opening a packet of fresh
China Tea - most frequently appears in the yellows and
apricots. Best: Port Sunlight.

WAYS TO USE DAVID AUSTIN ROSES
Hedges
English Rose hedges repeat flower prolifically, producing flushes of glorious, fragrant
blooms. They have attractive healthy, green foliage and their thorns help deter
intruders.
Tips
• When planting, space the shorter varieties about 1½ ft. apart and taller varieties
about 3 ft. apart.
• Adjust the height of the hedge by pruning.
Some of our favourite varieties (for tall hedges): Strawberry Hill; (for medium hedges):
Charlotte, Harlow Carr, Mary Rose, Molineux, Queen of Sweden, Scepter’d Isle, Susan
Williams-Ellis; (for short hedges): Darcey Bussell, Munstead Wood, Sophy’s Rose.

Mixed Borders
We always encourage gardeners to combine English Roses with other flowering
plants as companions. The pure, natural colours of the roses allow them to harmonize with the widest possible range of companion plants, creating a wonderful array of colour, form, texture and scent. All the English Roses can be grown in
mixed borders.
Tips
• Add English Roses to mixed borders to extend the flowering season.
• Plant the roses in compact groups of the same variety to create greatest
impact.
• Larger roses will provide height and structure without the need for staking.

WAYS TO USE DAVID AUSTIN ROSES
Pots and Containers
Container gardening is increasingly popular. English Roses, with their
graceful, bushy habits and long flowering season, are highly effective grown
this way. Use to decorate balconies, paths, seating areas, entrances, or
areas of gravel and paving, where their many-petalled, deliciously fragrant
flowers can be enjoyed at close quarters. Almost any of the English Roses
can be grown in large pots.
Tips
• Choose a large container to give the roots more room to develop and
prevent the soil drying out too quickly.
• Take extra care to feed and water regularly.
• Group a number of containerized roses together to create the impression
of a garden.

Climbers
Some English Roses make the most excellent climbers and
indeed we believe they are, as a group, the best of all climbing
roses. They are vigorous, without being too tall, and so are easy
to manage. They also have a remarkable ability to flower all the
way down to the base of the plant. They are very generous with
the number of stems they produce from the base and so there
is plenty to work with when fanning them out on a wall, trellis or
fence. They are also ideal for obelisks, arches or pillars. Some
favorite (Short Climbers): Falstaff, Heritage, St. Swithun, Evelyn.
(Medium Climbers): James Galway, The Generous Gardener,
Abraham Darby, The Wedgewood Rose, Crown Princess
Margareta, Lady of Shalott, Jude the Obscure, The Pilgrim.
Tall Climbers & Ramblers: Graham Thomas, Malvern Hills.
All varieties denoted with a “CL”can be trained as a climber.

70 Years of Breeding
NEW FOR SPRING 2017
We have introduced over 200 varieties since our
first rose, ‘Constance Spry’ was introduced in 1961. New
varieties are available in limited quantities in their first few
seasons, but remain at the very heart of our brand development. The aim of our breeding program is to maintain a
comprehensive selection of roses in different colours, forms,
fragrance and habits, all with outstanding performance.
The results are highly developed disease resistant roses with
wonderful scents and beautiful multi-petalled blooms that
create stunning shrubs and magnificent climbers for the
home gardener to choose from.
The Ancient Mariner (Ausoutcry) PPAF
‘The Ancient Mariner’ is an impressive variety, bearing masses of very
large blooms almost continually from June until the first frosts. Beautiful
at all stages, the pink buds gradually open to many petalled, incurved
cups with a strong, warm myrrh fragrance. The open blooms are a lovely
rich glowing pink at the centre, becoming paler towards the edges.
Over time, a cluster of golden stamens is revealed at the heart of each
bloom.

Desdemona (Auskindling) PPAF
A charming rose of exquisite beauty that
has an exceptionally long flowering season,
producing blooms from early summer
until the first frosts. Pretty peachy pink
buds open to reveal beautiful, pure white
blooms, with an attractive hint of pink at
the earliest stage of flowering. The blooms
are chalice-shaped; the incurved petals
creating an arresting interplay of light and
shadow. Over time, the blooms open a
little wider, just enough to catch a glimpse
of the pretty stamens within. They maintain
their shape during wet weather and have
an intense myrrh fragrance.

‘Boscobel’ bears beautifully formed flowers
of rich salmon coloring. The numerous small
petals are of varying shades, mingling to
provide a most pleasing effect. The delightful, medium-strong myrrh fragrance has
a hawthorn character with hints of elder
flower, pear and almond. It forms an upright
shrub of medium size, with dark green, glossy
foliage. It is vigorous and healthy. Boscobel
House, owned by English Heritage, was built
in 1632. It is famous for the fact that Charles
II hid there in an oak tree, whilst being
pursued by Cromwell’s soldiers during the
English Civil War.
Magnificent, beautifully cupped, very full
flowers of rich, dark crimson, eventually
developing hints of rich purple. There is a
powerful Old Rose fragrance. It is healthy
with strong, upright stems, forming a
substantial bushy shrub or an excellent
climber. Also available as own root.
The symbol: CL denotes varieties that can be trained as climbers.
Large, domed pink flowers with highlights
of gold on the underside of the petals.
Blooms are held well above the foliage and
produced with exceptional freedom and
continuity. Fruity rose fragrance with hints
of lemon and raspberry. Winner of several
awards.
L.D. Braithwaite™
Heathcliff
Beautiful wide blooms of the brightest
crimson, standing out when viewed across
the garden. They are produced freely and
with remarkable continuity. There is a light
scent until the flower ages, when it develops
a charming Old Rose character. Combines
winter hardiness with the ability to grow well
in hot areas. Also available as own root.
There are few roses as popular as those
of deep crimson colouring – and none
so difficult to breed. ‘Heathcliff’ is a
beautiful addition to English Roses of this
color. It has large, fully double flowers of
deep rosette shape. The color is a deep
crimson, with a certain softness that
is reminiscent of some of the old red Gallica Roses. It is a healthy variety, with shiny,
deep green leaves and rather upright
growth. Its fragrance is most pleasing and
rather unusual – basically tea rose with
a mixture of Old Rose and just a hint of
cedar wood.

It has an overall character that is very

having its own very special beauty yet
retaining the classic full-petalled flowers of
an English Rose. The young flower is deep
pink, gradually fading to a pure deep pink.
The undersides of the petals have a hint of
yellow. The petals are rather narrow and
unusually substantial. Remarkably resistant to
disease. It flowers over a long period and in
large clusters; the individual blooms opening
in succession. Also available as own root.

YELLOW - WHITE
The Poet’s Wife
This rose fits in well with our English Old Rose
Hybrids, even though it has a little of the
Leander group in its genetic make-up. This
shows up in its rather shiny foliage. It is a superb
rose with flowers of an unfading, strong yellow.
Their formation is most pleasing, having a
neat outer ring of petals enclosing an informal
group of petals within. The growth is low and
naturally rounded, making it an ideal rose for a
position towards the front of the border. There
is a rich fragrance with strong lemon tints at
first, becoming sweeter and stronger with age.

Deep cups open to neat rosettes, then

beautifully rounded shape with neatly placed
petals, making up a perfect rosette. The
opening buds are lightly tinged with yellow but
as the flowers open they become pure white.
There is a light apple fragrance. The growth
is upright, gradually curving outwards at the
top to provide us with a good garden shrub
which could, if desired, work equally well as a
bedding rose. It has excellent vigor and is very
healthy. It has typical light green musk rose
foliage and is almost thornless.

Shrubs: All the roses listed here are ideal for a number of purposes in the garden, whether grown on their own, or in association with other
flowers and shrubs.
We have indicated varieties that also perform very well in large containers and those which are ideal for hedging.
Climbers: All David Austin’s Climbing Roses are suitable for South, East and West-facing walls (S,E,W). Some of the more vigorous varieties
are also suitable for North-facing walls (N). All are recommended for full sun or partial shade, provided there is not too much competition
at the roots and the rose is not overhung by trees.
David Austin’s roses are protected by plant breeder’s rights, patents and trademarks.

TIPS FOR ROSE CULTIVATION
Roses are easy to grow and remarkably tolerant. To achieve good results, it is only necessary for them to get a few
basic points right. However, roses will respond well to extra care and attention by being more floriferous and healthy.
Here is our care advice for home gardeners.
Planting Time
Containerized roses can be planted all year round, although extra
attention to watering will be required in hot spells until the roses are
well established.
Planting Position
Select a site with at least four hours of sun each day, although
in areas with hot summers shade from the afternoon sun can be
beneficial. Generally roses will not flourish where their roots are in
competition with the roots of other plants, especially trees and
hedges.
Planting Distances
If you have the space, English Roses look superb planted in groups
of three or more of one variety. They will then grow together to
form one dense shrub, which will provide a more continuous
display and make a more definite statement in the border.
Depending on the varieties and your climate we suggest planting
about 18 - 24" apart within the group and 3-4 ft. between plants of
neighboring varieties.
Soil Type
Roses will grow in a wide range of soils, but they do appreciate
good soil preparation. The addition of well rotted manure or
garden compost before planting will help ensure strong growth.
Planting
Just prior to planting containerized roses should be soaked for 30
minutes or so and then allowed to drain for an hour or two. When
planted, the base of the stems should be about 3" below ground
level in cold winter areas and at ground level in milder areas.
Water generously until the plant is well established.
Planting in Containers
Plant in a 50:50 mix of loam based and loam free compost and
apply a good, slow release fertiliser. Water regularly, especially
during the summer, when they may need to be watered daily.
Prune by at least half when spring growth begins.
Feeding, Mulching and Watering
Feeding, generous mulching and occasional deep watering will
help encourage strong growth and more flowers. Mulch in spring,
preferably using well rotted manure or garden compost.
Healthy Roses
The best way to keep your roses healthy is to choose disease
resistant varieties and grow them as well as possible. Excessive
Nitrogen can make roses more susceptible to both pests and
diseases. However an occasional spray can help, the most
effective being at the start of the season before symptoms
develop. Beware of frosts the night after spraying - they will scorch
the leaves badly. There are different chemicals and laws in many
of the provinces, so we recommend that you seek the latest
advice from your garden center team, nursery or local rose society.
Winter Pruning
Pruning is very easy. In areas with relatively mild winters, January
and February is the best time. In regions with cold winters, pruning
should be delayed until spring growth is just starting. On all plants,
remove very weak, old and woody and dead and diseased stems.
English Shrub Roses
Prune back by between 1/3 and 2/3, depending on what height
you would like your rose to reach next season. Each year remove
some of the older stems to encourage fresh, new growth from the
base.
English Climbing Roses
The previous year’s flowering shoots should be reduced to 3 or 4
buds or about 4" - 6" and the strong, new stems tied in, cutting out
older ones as necessary.
English Ramblers
Leave to ramble, tying in the strong new stems to provide support.
If they need to be constrained, prune as for climbers.
Dead-Heading
This is the removal of spent flowers. It encourages repeat-flowering
and makes a tidier plant. Either remove just the dead flower or cut
the stems down to the first full leaf.
Summer Pruning
In warm climates it may be beneficial to summer prune by cutting
back most of the spent flowering shoots, leaving just a few inches.
This can be repeated through the season as the rose repeat
flowers and will encourage more compact growth and quicker
repeat-flowering.
