Roses!
David Austin set out to combine the beautiful flower forms
and fragrance of old roses with the wider colour range
and repeat-flowering of modern roses. The English Roses
are not like other roses – they quickly form magnificent
shrubs and climbers which make great impact in the
garden. Their large fragrant blooms have an old world
charm that attracts a passionate following.

What is a David Austin English Rose - Selling Points
Fragrance Story
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.
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.

The Generous Gardener
Breeding
The company maintains a consistently high level of investment
in breeding and trialling new varieties. David Austin and his
team of horticulturists have created one of the world’s largest
breeding programs for garden roses. Seedlings are assessed for
characteristics such as beauty of flower form, outstanding garden
performance, fragrance, and grace. The most outstanding seedlings
undergo up to eight years of field trials. Eventually just three to six
new varieties will be released each year.
Trial Gardens
Michael Marriott
Technical Manager
We have been delighted to find that the
vast majority of our roses perform well
at all our trial grounds, despite the wide
variety of different climates. The results show
the English Roses to be generally a very
tough, reliable, healthy and hardy group of
roses. Where a rose exhibits a regional
preference, we have indicated this in the
variety description.
We have ten trial grounds, providing coverage across America. These
are based in the North East, the North West, the Midwest, the South
and South East, with four covering the Southern, Northern and Central
California area. Some are public gardens, some are private. In addition
to these, we are in close contact with a network of other private
gardens where the owners report back on a more informal basis, so
adding valuable information on each variety.

Ways of Using David Austin’s 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.
6
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.
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, The
Alnwick Rose.
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.

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.
Graham Thomas
Landscaping
English Roses are low maintenance plants,
perfect for landscaping and all kinds of planting schemes. They are very easy to care
for, exceptionally tough, reliable and healthy,
with large, full, fragrant blooms and superb
repeat flowering. English Roses marked ❀ in
their descriptions are highly recommended for
landscaping in the North American climate.
Tips
• English Roses can easily be trimmed using
a hedge trimmer.
• Position the most fragrant varieties where
their scent can be appreciated.

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.
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. For more
guidance, please contact us.
Lady of Shalott
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.
All varieties denoted with a “CL”can be
trained as a climber.

New Varieties - 60 Years of Breeding -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 sesons, but remian
at the very heart of our brand development. The aim of our breeding
program is to maintain a comprehensive selelction 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.
Royal Jubilee™ ❀ (Auspaddle)
N
Royal Jubilee’ is a unique rose for a unique occasion; we are delighted to introduce it in
celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The flowers are very beautiful,
being large and of a deep chalice shape; the petals incurving so that we can only just see
the stamens within. The colour is a deep pink. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of this rose
is its growth which is typical of the English Albas; the stems being thin and wiry and showing
off the flowers with the utmost elegance against typical Alba foliage. It has very few thorns.
The blooms have a lovely rich fruity fragrance with hints of blackcurrant. It has excellent
health, vigor and repeat-flowering qualities.

(Ausmobile)
We have only introduced two repeat-flowering ramblers so far – ‘Snow Goose’ and ‘Malvern
Hills’ – and so we are very excited to be introducing a third. Unlike most ramblers that have
single or semi-double flowers, ‘The Albrighton Rambler’ has small, cup-shaped, perfectly
formed flowers of softest pink that pale to blush. The petals are beautifully arranged with a
little button eye; the overall appearance being one of exceptional prettiness and charm. The
blooms are held in large sprays and hang gracefully on the branch. As it repeat flowers well,
we expect it to reach a height of around 10 or 12 ft. or perhaps more. It is an exceptionally
healthy variety that will do well with little attention and the flowers are not affected by rain.
There is a light musky fragrance typical of the Sempervirens hybrids. Named to commend
the Striders, Steppers and Strollers who walk around the village of Albrighton, where David
Austin’s Nursery is located.

The Lady Gardener™ ❀ (Ausbrass)
This is a particularly interesting rose in that it is the first in the English Old Rose group which
has apricot flowers. These are large, about 4” across, and of a beautiful shade of rich pure
apricot that pales towards the outside of the bloom. They are of a rosette shape and very
full petalled with a large button eye that gradually opens up; the petals loosely arranged in
a quartered formation. Altogether an excellent garden plant that will repeat flower quickly,
stand up well to rain and stay very healthy. There is a particularly lovely and strong Tea
fragrance which has hints of cedar wood and vanilla. It will reach a height of 3½ ft. and
about 2½ ft. across, depending on how it is pruned. Named to raise awareness for Plant
Heritage and their important work to protect Britain’s garden plant diversity. We maintain the
National Collection of English Roses here in our Rose Gardens.

Thomas à Becket™ ❀ (Auswinston)
This is a variety of very different character from the general run of English Roses, being
rather closer to the Species Roses than to the Old Roses and more natural and shrubby
in growth. The individual flowers can best be described as shallowly cupped, opening as
informal rosettes; the petals quickly reflexing as the flowers age. They are held in mediumsized heads; the individual blooms nodding attractively on the stem. They have an Old Rose
fragrance with a strong lemon zest character. The colour is difficult to describe or even
photograph: the best we can say is an attractive light red paling to carmine red. This variety
is best used where an informal shrub is required. A particularly strong and healthy variety.

Cathedral and were very pleased to do so.

The fully open flowers are very large, 4-5” across

colour, with an area of yellow behind the stamens.
The colour fades to a soft yellow-apricot throughout
blooming. It is healthy and vigorous and will
develop into a rounded shrub that is idea for mixed
boarders. The fragrance is medium to strong, very
fruity with a strong element of lemon zest.
In every way, a superb garden plant. The blooms
are beautiful at all stages, eventually forming
perfect rosettes, with their outer petals reflexing
back. These are in lovely mixed shades of apricot
with a delicious, warm Tea fragrance. It forms a very
healthy, branching shrub. Summer prune in warmer

Boscobel ❀
The Lark Ascending ❀
A delightful rose that illustrates the great diversity
that is now to be found among English Roses.
Some of them are of Tea scent while others
move towards the scent of myrrh. This is an
excellent rose for a mixed border of hardy plants
or shrubs, where its tall airy growth and flowers
will associate well with plants of a similar nature.
It has exceptional health and vigor. The name
is taken from Ralph VaughanWilliams’ piece of
music, which was recently voted Britain’s favorite
by listeners to the BBC radio broadcast, Desert
Island Discs.

There are few roses as popular as those of
deep crimson coloring – and none so difficult

English Roses - Crimson, Red, Purple, Deep Pink
Munstead Wood ❀
It has an overall character that is very different from
any other rose we know, 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.
The flowers are a light crimson in the bud but
gradually becomes a very deep crimson, while the
outer petals remain lighter in colour. They are of
large size and cupped at first, becoming shallowly
cupped with time. The leaves are mid-green leaves,
the younger leaves being red-bronze.

A lovely white sport of ‘Mary Rose’, sometimes with
the slightest touch of pink at the center. The overall
effect is of a mass of flowers held on a bushy
shrub, which blooms at regular intervals throughout
the season. The strong and delicious Old Rose
fragrance has hints of honey and almond blossom.
Particularly winter hardy.

The English Musk Roses are notable for the
perfection of their flowers and ‘Tranquillity’ lives up
to this reputation. The flowers are of a 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.

This is the most fragrant of this year’s new varieties
and, indeed, one of the most fragrant of all English
Roses. The plump buds open to form round, rich
buttery yellow coloured blooms which eventually
pale to a softer creamy colour. Even when the
flowers are fully open, they retain their beautifully
rounded chalice shape. Its more upright habit
makes it suitable for both formal and informal
situations. It should be positioned where its strong
scent can be easily appreciated.

Beautiful rich yellow rosettes are produced with
exceptional freedom and continuity. Very healthy
and reliable, performing well in all areas. Winner of
several awards including the Henry Edland Medal
at the UK RNRS trials. Also available as own root.
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.
Rose Cultivation
Advice to your Customers - Rose Cultivation
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 repeatflowering.
