THE DAVID AUSTIN AUSTRALIAN COLLECTION
David J.C. Austin and David C.H. Austin.
elcome to our first collection of English Roses
for Australia. We are proud to be a family
owned company with a long heritage of breeding and
growing roses. Our objective has always remained the
same: to combine the best of the old with the best of
the new, to create roses that will provide the greatest
possible pleasure for the gardener.
Today’s English Roses provide a succession of
beautiful fragrant blooms in a wide range of natural,
pure colours. They have graceful, natural, shrubby
growth which makes them ideal for large pots, beds and
mixed borders. Our English Roses are particularly well
suited to the Australian climate. They have performed
wonderfully well even throughout times of drought
and heavy rain. In recent years we have made some
great improvements to the health and vigour of the
roses. As a result, we believe the new varieties for 2011
and 2012 are some of the best we have ever introduced.
Three of our new varieties have already received
several important accolades from around the world.
W
‘Princess Alexandra of Kent’ won the top award for
fragrance at both the 2009 Glasgow Trials and the 2010
Desert Rose Society show in California. It has a
delicious fresh tea scent, which changes to lemon over
time with a hint of blackcurrants. At the 2009 Concurs
Internacional de Roses in Barcelona ‘Young Lycidas’
with its intriguing mixed scent of tea, old rose and
cedar was also awarded the top prize for fragrance and
Wisley 2008 was presented with Best Rose for
Landscaping.
If you are finding it hard to choose the best rose for
your needs from the many varieties available, you
might like to consult pages 52 and 53, where we suggest
the perfect varieties for different situations such as ideal
roses for hedging; excellent shrubs and climbers for
growing in shady positions and the best roses for
cutting and creating arrangements for the home.
We would like to wish all rose lovers a very happy
gardening year.

ABOUT DAVID AUSTIN ROSES
David Austin Roses is an internationally
recognised, family-owned business which
takes a long-term approach to breeding
and marketing our award-winning roses.
The first David Austin roses to hit
Australia were widely acclaimed and still
have great recognition amongst many
Australian gardeners.
The company maintains a consistently
high level of investment in breeding and
trialling new varieties. As a result, roses
released during the last ten to fifteen
years have greatly improved health and
disease-resistance. The release of many
compact new English Roses has
broadened the appeal of the collection.
The English Roses are not like other
roses. They quickly form magnificent,
fragrant shrubs and climbers which make
great impact in the garden. Their large,
fragrant blooms have an old world charm
and allure that attracts a passionate
following. David Austin’s roses can be
found in prestigious private and public
gardens throughout Australia.
The company has won many awards,
including fifteen gold medals from The
Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea
Flower Show. In 2007, David Austin
received an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday
Honours List and in 2010, he was
honored as a Great Rosarian of the
World.
We have three offices worldwide and a
presence in almost every rose growing
country in the world. David Austin’s
head office is in Shropshire, England,
where the company displays the National
Collection of English Roses in two acres
of themed rose gardens, open to the
public free of charge. We have regional
offices in Japan and the USA.

BARE ROOTS
Roses are sold in pots all year round but
many garden centres and mail order
specialists still sell roses as ‘bare root’,
bagged or freshly potted during winter
months. This is the time of year when the
best range of roses is available and prices
are keen.
Whether you buy bare root or potted,
there’s no doubt that care at planting time
makes a huge difference to how your
roses will perform. Careful soil
preparation is the key. See page 54 for
advice.
GRAHAM THOMAS – voted the world’s favourite rose
David Austin’s ‘Graham Thomas’
received the highest accolade in the rose
world when it was voted the World’s
Favourite Rose by the World Federation
of Rose Societies (WFRS). Founded in
1968, the WFRS represents over 100,000
rose lovers in 41 member countries. The
award was announced at the 2009 World
Rose Convention in Vancouver, when the
rose was inducted into the society’s ‘Rose
Hall of Fame’. It holds this prestigious
title for three years.
The cup-shaped blooms of this wellloved English Rose have an unusually
rich, pure yellow colour which is not
found in the Old Roses and is rare, even
among modern roses. The strong, fresh
tea rose fragrance received the Henry
Edland medal. ‘Graham Thomas’ forms
an upright, bushy shrub which can be
maintained at 1.5 x 1.25m with summer
pruning. It is highly versatile and can also
be trained as a spectacular climbing rose,
ideal for a wall, rose pillar, obelisk or
fence. It enjoys full sun but like all David
Austin’s English Roses, it will also
perform well in partial shade, provided it
is not planted directly underneath the
canopy of trees.
The rose was named for one of the
leading British horticulturalists of the
20th century. The late Graham Thomas,
born in 1909, was an enthusiastic
collector of Old Roses and a frequent
visitor to David Austin’s Nursery in
Albrighton, England.

USING DAVID AUSTIN ENGLISH ROSES IN THE AUSTRALIAN GARDEN
ROSE BORDERS
English Roses are remarkably adaptable plants, growing in
extreme climates around the world. Once they become well
established in the garden, which usually takes a year or so,
they are remarkably drought tolerant, though they will
reward extra care by being more floriferous. They can be
used to excellent effect, in a wide variety of ways. Here are
a few suggestions that you may find helpful.
A border of English Roses is hard to beat for sheer exuberance of
flower and fragrance. The roses will flower from late spring/early
summer through to the cooler weather of winter, providing a
whole range of delicious fragrances. Some people prefer to use a
limited range of harmonising colours, such as only varieties of
white, blush pink, pink, crimson and purple, or just white, yellow,
apricot and peach - but this is in no way essential. With the
sophisticated shades of the English Roses, a mixture of the whole
range of colours works wonderfully well. Always plant in groups
of three or more, if space permits, to create structure and
movement in the border and enable each variety to make a
definite statement.
MIXED BORDERS
English Roses are shrub roses and so look particularly at home in
a mixed border; indeed, this is where most people grow them.
Their sumptuous blooms provide a welcome contrast to the
lighter and more airy flowers of most perennials. The softer
colours of the English Roses harmonise perfectly with the colours
of most other plants.They have the great benefit of continuing to
flower when many plants and shrubs are over. No rose likes too
much competition and it is advisable to surround them with plants
that are not too invasive. Wherever possible, we advise planting in
groups of three or more although, in small borders, single plants
are very satisfactory.
ROSE BEDS
There are a number of English Roses that grow, even in the warmer
summers of Australia, to no more than 1–1.3m, which make
wonderful bedding roses: Darcey Bussell, Miss Alice, Molineux,
Munstead Wood, Sophy’s Rose and so on. These are short and
bushy and repeat-flower well. In larger beds, the range of
possibilities becomes much wider and taller varieties can be used.

ROSE GARDENS
For those of us who have sufficient space, it is possible to plant a
rose garden entirely or partly of English Roses. This may be a
conventional rose garden or perhaps two long borders facing a path
and intersected occasionally with other paths. Such a garden could
be quite small, or something altogether more extensive.
FOR POTS AND CONTAINERS
AS CLIMBERS (PILLARS)
AS A HEDGE OR FOR LINING A PATH
One of the most important developments in English Roses (and
especially in Australia where the summer temperatures are higher
than in the UK) has been the use of these roses as climbing roses.
They usually reach a height of about 2.5 - 3 metres, which is ideal
for people who would not wish to climb tall ladders. We can view
the blooms to perfection as they will be growing more or less at eye
level. English Rose climbers flower freely and continuously,
branching all along the stem.
Some of the stronger English Roses form excellent hedges. They
will produce a mass of colour throughout the summer. Such
hedges may be used along the front of a garden facing the road, or
to divide one part of the garden from another.
Plants in large pots or planters on hard areas around the house
have become increasingly popular in recent times. Many of us,
particularly in large cities, have either very small gardens or a
patio garden. English Roses, with their bushy growth, are
particularly good for this purpose.
AS CUT FLOWERS
English Roses are wonderful cut flowers, although they have a
relatively short vase life when cut fresh from the garden. They are
less stiff in growth than most modern roses and so are perfect for
creating graceful arrangements. What better way of enjoying the
beauty and fragrance of the individual flowers than arranging
them in a bowl for the house?
An exciting development in recent years has been our release of
an entirely new type of rose, bred for cutting, with longer vase life
and great character and charm. Our new luxury roses are
wonderful for events, weddings and gift bouquets and are
increasingly available in Australia. Cut rose varieties are not
available as plants for the garden. See p57 for more information.
STANDARD ROSES
We know of no better roses than English Roses for growing as
Standard Roses. Being naturally wide and bushy, they form extra
large heads. English Standard Roses are excellent for giving height
in the garden. They may also be used as a focal point, or planted
at intervals along the edge of a path.

NEW ENGLISH
ROSES FOR 2012
Young Lycidas ;
A sensational variety with large
flowers that are deeply cupped, even
when fully open. Their colour is new
to English Roses: a mix of very deep
magenta, pink and red – the
outermost petals a light purple –
creating a beautiful contrast with the
silvery outside of the petals. A healthy
variety.

of Tea and Old Rose with hints of cedar
wood.

New English Roses
Wisley 2008 ;
Sir John Betjeman ;
This is a rose of exceptional delicacy and charm bearing
some resemblence to the old Alba Roses. Perfect,
shallowly cupped rosettes are held in small clusters. The
color is a very pure, soft pink, the outer petals paling a
little towards the edge. There is a fresh, fruity fragrance
with hints of Tea and raspberry. A fine and very healthy
shrub rose.
A rose with a more modern character than most English
Roses. The flowers are produced very freely and are held
in small clusters. The full-petalled, wide open rosettes are
a bright, deep pink which, unusually, intensifies with age.
This healthy variety is a superb choice for creating a
bright splash of colour.

ENGLISH ROSES
AS SHRUBS
English Roses are easy to grow,
adaptable and highly versatile. When
grown as shrubs, they can be used in a
wide variety of ways: in mixed flower
beds, traditional rose borders or in
large decorative planters around the
yard. A massed collection of English
Roses looks quite superb when
trained against a long post and rail
fence - this is one of the many ways
we display them at our UK nursery.
Some varieties make beautiful
fragrant, thorny hedges, while most
are ideal for landscaping projects.
In this section of the catalogue, we
have classified each variety as small,
medium or large to allow easy
comparison between them. The
gardener can adjust the height a rose
will reach by pruning.
The heights and widths given in
the Index of Roses on pages 60 - 61
are approximately the size a variety
can be expected to reach in a
Melbourne or Adelaide garden with
average pruning. In a warmer climate,
or with lighter pruning, the rose will
naturally form a larger plant. Summer
pruning will help maintain the desired
height of the rose in warmer areas.

English Shrub Roses - Red and Crimson
Benjamin Britten ;
Darcey Bussell ;
This variety has an unusual colouring for an English Rose.
The open, cupped rosettes are a beautiful soft scarlet,
eventually changing to a strong shade of pink. There is an
intensely fruity fragrance with aspects of wine and pear
drops. It can be grown as either a shrub, which will benefit
from summer pruning, or as a climber.
One of the best and healthiest of the red roses we have
bred to date. The flowers are produced freely and with
excellent continuity. When young, their outer petals
form a perfect ring, later developing into a beautiful
rosette. The colour is a deep, rich crimson later
developing a tinge of mauve. It has a pleasing, fruity
fragrance.

The Dark Lady ;
This variety varies in colour from a
dark crimson in the cooler areas to a
very rich, deep pink in warmer areas.
The large, sumptuous, fragrant
blooms have many perfectly
arranged petals. It enjoys the warm
climate of Australia, where it forms
an attractive, rounded and well
branched shrub.
Munstead Wood ;
Light crimson buds gradually open to
reveal deepest velvety crimson petals
at the centre of the bloom, while the
outer petals remain lighter in colour.
The rosette-shaped blooms are deeply
cupped at first, becoming more
shallowly cupped with time. Our
fragrance expert, Robert Calkin,
assesses the Old Rose scent of this
rose as ‘warm and fruity with
blackberry, blueberry and damson
notes’. Good disease resistance. The
younger leaves are red-bronze, giving a
nice contrast.

Summer pruning:
‘A Shropshire Lad’ and many of the
more vigorous English Roses respond well
to summer pruning, especially in warmer
areas. After flowering, cut back the stems
by between 45 and 60cm, leaving two or
three leaves of the current season’s
growth. This helps to maintain a nice
shrubby shape and encourage quicker
repeating.

Abraham Darby ;
Ambridge Rose ;
Christopher Marlowe ;
Few roses make such a fine display
or produce such magnificent blooms
as ‘Abraham Darby’. It produces
many, very large, cup-shaped flowers
in shades of apricot and yellow, later
tinted with pink. A rich, fruity
fragrance with a refreshing sharpness.
Vigorous and hardy. Summer
pruning is recommended.
Lovely apricot-pink flowers that are
a very soft, pale pink towards the
outer edges. They are neatly cupped,
opening out into a very attractive
rosette. There is a fine English Rose
myrrh fragrance.
A tough, free-flowering and
altogether trouble-free rose. It
performs very well in warmer
climates, but prefers less humidity.
The rosette-shaped blooms start an
intense orange-red, which pales first to
salmon-pink and finally to soft pink.
The underside of the petals are soft
yellow, creating an interesting contrast
in the button-eye centre. Tea fragrance
with a hint of lemon. An attractive,
well-rounded and free-flowering shrub.

ENGLISH ROSES
AS 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.
A Shropshire Lad Clg.;

WAYS OF USING ENGLISH ROSES – HEDGES

Rose hedges benefit enormously from

roses. When planting, space the shorter
varieties about 50 - 75cm apart and the
taller varieties about 1m apart.
Pruning hedges is very easy. English
Roses are very forgiving plants and can be
trimmed using a hedge trimmer. Remove
any weak or dead stems. The final height
of the hedge can be adjusted by pruning
harder or more lightly. After a few years,
some thinning may be required.
ENGLISH ROSES IN CONTAINERS
Container gardening has never been more
popular. English Roses, with their long
flowering season, are highly effective
containerised plants, bringing character and
interest to the garden. It is a great way to
enjoy their beautiful, often deliciously
fragrant flowers at close quarters.
Group a number of containerised roses
together to create the impression of a
garden. Place them at entrances, in seating
areas or use to decorate paths or large areas
of gravel and paving.
When growing English Roses, always
choose a large container (at least half a
barrel) as this will give the roots more room
to develop and help to prevent the soil
drying out too quickly. Although plastic
pots are lighter and easier to move, clay pots,
barrels or urns can be very attractive and
will be more stable in windy conditions.
We recommend roses are planted in a
good quality potting mix. A slow release
fertiliser should be applied. Fit drip
irrigation or water regularly, especially
during the summer when they may need to
be watered every day. Prune back by at least
half when spring growth begins.

ENGLISH ROSES IN MIXED FLOWER BEDS
English Roses are rarely more beautiful than
when they are combined with other
flowering plants in the garden. All the roses
listed in the shrub section of this catalogue
can be very successfully incorporated into
mixed flower beds. They generously produce
flushes of blooms, providing colour and
interest over a long season. We recommend
shrub roses are planted in compact groups
of the same variety to create bold splashes
of colour and to balance drifts of perennials.
English Roses have some of the most
complex and delicious fragrances of any
garden plant. Their natural, shrubby growth
and graceful bushy habit makes them perfect
for the mixed border. Their pure, glowing
colours harmonise with a wide range of
companion plants; their magnificent cupped
and rosette blooms contrasting well with the
airier flowers of many perennials. When
combined with the gardener’s favourite
flowers and shrubs, they create a wonderful
array of colour, form, texture and scent.
Roses are very effective when shorter
companion plants are used around them.
The taller English Roses provide height and
structure without the need for staking, while
the more compact varieties are perfect for
the front of the border. Many of the annuals
and perennials traditionally found in mixed
borders attract beneficial insects into the
garden which will help to keep the roses
healthy.

ENGLISH ROSES FOR LANDSCAPING
English Roses offer a rare blend of
beauty, grace and functionality which far
exceeds most other flowering plants. This
makes them very useful in all kinds of
planting schemes. These glorious roses
can transform public land into enchanting
outdoor spaces. At home, a fragrant rose
garden creates an idyllic place to relax
with family and friends.
Any of the English Roses marked ;
in their descriptions are highly
recommended for landscaping in the
Australian climate. Here we highlight
some of our favourite, low-maintenance
English Roses, all of which are suitable
for landscaping large areas. They have
beautiful blooms; excellent repeatflowering; are very tough, reliable and
healthy and are often very fragrant too.

ROSES FOR SPECIFIC POSITIONS
We are often asked to recommend roses for different purposes in
the garden. Here is a list of roses you might like to consider,
although there are other varieties which will also perform well.
Shrub roses for shady positions:
If planting in partial shade, always choose a spot that is not
overhung by the branches of trees and where there is not too
much competition at the roots:
Abraham Darby, A Shropshire Lad, Benjamin Britten, Crocus Rose,
Gertrude Jekyll, Golden Celebration, Graham Thomas, Grace,
Jude the Obscure, L.D. Braithwaite, Mary Rose, Pat Austin,
Teasing Georgia, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, The Mayflower,
Wildeve, Winchester Cathedral.
Climbers for shady positions:
Most varieties of English Climbing Roses grow and flower
very well in north facing positions or areas of partial shade
that receive 3-4 hours of sun per day. We particularly
recommend the following:
A Shropshire Lad, Abraham Darby, Benjamin Britten,
Crown Princess Margareta, Gertrude Jekyll, Golden Celebration,
Graham Thomas,Teasing Georgia, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, The
Pilgrim.
Climbers for pillars, obelisks or arches:
Always consider the height of the structure when selecting
roses to grow against them. All the English Climbing Roses are
suitable, especially:
A Shropshire Lad, Claire Austin, Crown Princess Margareta,
Falstaff, Gertrude Jekyll, Golden Celebration, Graham Thomas,
Jude the Obscure, Strawberry Hill, Teasing Georgia, Tess of the
d’Urbervilles, The Pilgrim.
Roses with the strongest fragrance:
English Roses are renowned for the strength and complexity of
their fragrances, which include Old Rose, Tea Rose, musk,
myrrh and fruity, or may be a delicious blend. Here are some
of the best:
Abraham Darby, Claire Austin, Crown Princess Margareta,
Evelyn, Gertrude Jekyll, Golden Celebration, Jubilee Celebration,
Jude the Obscure, Munstead Wood, Pat Austin, Princess
Alexandra of Kent, Scepter’d Isle, Sharifa Asma, Strawberry Hill,
William Shakespeare 2000, Young Lycidas.
The Renaissance Garden
52
Roses for bedding:
Ambridge Rose, Charlotte, Darcey Bussell, Mary Rose, Molineux,
Sophy’s Rose, Winchester Cathedral.
Thornless roses:
These roses are completely thornless, or nearly so. These
varieties can all be grown as shrubs or trained as climbers:
A Shropshire Lad, Heritage, Tea Clipper.
Garden roses for cutting:
Almost any double-flowered rose is suitable for cutting to
create arrangements for the home. Roses are very beautiful
when cut freshly from the garden, but have a very short vase
life, so we recommend that they are plunged in a bucket of
water as soon as they have been cut to help extend their lives.
These are some of our favourites:
Brother Cadfael, Charlotte, Eglantyne, Golden Celebration,
Graham Thomas, Jubilee Celebration, L.D. Braithwaite,
Molineux, Noble Antony, Sir John Betjeman, Tess of the
d’Urbervilles, The Alnwick Rose, William Shakespeare 2000.
A listing of our new luxury cut roses can be found on page 57.
Please note that these are only available as stems for bouquets,
events and weddings, not as garden plants.
English Standard Roses:
Standard Roses (sometimes known as Stem Roses) are a great
way to add height to a border or can be used as specimens in a
lawn or on either side of a path. English Roses have a natural
growth habit and beautiful fragrant flowers, making them
ideally suited to being grown in this way. In a large bed, a
group of three or four planted closely together can be very
effective. Here are some of our favourites:
Golden Celebration, Grace, Mary Rose, Molineux, The Alnwick
Rose, The Endeavour, William Shakespeare 2000, Windermere.
Hedges
Roses make excellent hedges either as impenetrable barriers or
as very floriferous internal boundaries within a garden.
Shorter hedges form an attractive dividing wall, while taller
hedges may require support from a fence or wire netting.
Please see page 48 for more information. Here are some of our
favourite hedging roses:
Anne Boleyn, Charlotte, Crocus Rose, Darcey Bussell, L. D.
Braithwaite, Mary Rose, Molineux, Munstead Wood, Sophy’s Rose,
Scepter’d Isle, Strawberry Hill, Teasing Georgia, The Alnwick Rose,
The Mayflower.

ROSE CULTIVATION
Roses are easy to grow and remarkably
tolerant. To achieve good results, it is only
necessary 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
Containerised 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 1m apart within the group, leaving
1 – 1.5m between plants of neighbouring
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
Containerised roses should be soaked for
30 minutes or so just prior to planting.
On arrival plant the bare root roses as
soon as possible, never allowing the roots
to dry out. 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. If
immediate planting is impossible, keep
the roses in the sealed box in a cold but
frost free place or heel the roses in.
Water generously until the plant is well
established. We recommend the use of
David Austin’s ‘Start’.
PLANTING IN CONTAINERS
See page 49 for information on this.
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
restricting their use, so we recommend
that you seek the latest advice from your
garden centre team, nursery or local rose
society.
54
WINTER PRUNING
Pruning is very easy. The recommended
time to prune is in July and August. 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 10 – 15cm and the strong, new
stems tied in, cutting out older ones as
necessary.
DEAD-HEADING
Unless you particularly desire the winter
colour that hips provide, we recommend
that you aim to prevent hips from
forming as these tend to reduce repeatflowering. Dead-heading is the removal
of spent flowers, which might otherwise
go on to form hips. This not only
encourages repeat-flowering, but also
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 about 50cm,
leaving just about 15cm. This can be
repeated through the season as the rose
repeat flowers and will encourage more
compact growth and quicker repeatflowering.
ENGLISH ROSES IN GARDENS
Alongside David Austin’s Plant Centre in
Shropshire, England we have created two
acre gardens that are home to the
National Collection of English Roses,
with many other types of rose - over 700
different varieties in all. The gardens are
divided into six themed areas, designed to
provide inspiration for gardeners.
Although there are many other beautiful
gardens worldwide with great collections
of English Roses, there is probably no
better place to enjoy so many of the 200
or more varieties we have introduced.
The gardens are open all year round free
of charge and are normally at their peak
of flowering around the end of June.
Please try to allow time to call in and see
us if you have a trip to England planned.
David Austin’s Plant Centre, traditional
tea rooms and rose breeding facilities are
also on site.

BREEDING
SHOWS
WEBSITE
Successful rose breeding depends on
meticulous planning and paying close
attention to even the smallest details.
Important characteristics include the beauty
of the flower form, outstanding garden
performance, health and fragrance. The
selectors working with David Austin also
look for an almost indefinable characteristic–
grace. We believe that this special quality sets
the English Roses apart from other roses.
Following the initial selections, the most
outstanding seedlings undergo up to eight
years of field trials. Eventually just three to
six new varieties will be released each year.
During 2011, we’ll be exhibiting at the
Melbourne International Flower &
Garden Show (MIFGS). This is
Australia’s premier garden show and is on
from March 30 to April 3 at the Royal
Exhibition Buildings and Carlton
Gardens in Melbourne, Victoria. We will
be displaying our roses in the Great Hall
along with Rose Introducers of Australia.
Please call in to see us if you can, you’ll
be delighted with the mass of colour and
perfume. www.melbflowershow.com.au
