David Austin English Roses
David Austin English Roses, after more than fifty years of breeding, combine the flower forms and fragrance of old roses with the wider color selection, repeat-blooming and disease resistance of todays modern roses. Grown in the US, these English Roses do well in zones 5-9 and especially well in the drier western climates with longer growing seasons. Star/Meilland also hybridizes beautiful English style roses in the 'Romantica' collection of roses. We offer the largest selections of David Austin English Roses.

Although often used as a shrub, it makes one of the most glorious of all climbers; as anyone who has seen it at Mottisfont Abbey, will agree.
It has a strong myrrh fragrance; in fact, it was this rose that introduced the myrrh fragrance to the breeding of the English Roses. Non remondant, one glorious bloom in early summer, tolerates some shade.

This rose, with its short, bushy growth, is an excellent shrub for the front of the border or for planting in formal rose beds. It will make an excellent plant for a large pot. It is our first fully double crimson to be released since the best selling William Shakespeare 2000 and is perfect for gardeners who would prefer a more compact shrub.

Lichfield Angel will form a vigorous, rounded shrub which, with its blooms nodding attractively on the branch, will make a fine sight.
It is very useful in a border, as it blends well with all other colours and will act as an intermediary between pinks and yellows.
The fragrance is generally light but has strong elements of clove at one stage.
Lichfield Angel is a limestone sculptured panel, from the 8th century, which was recently discovered in Lichfield Cathedral. It depicts the Archangel Gabriel and still bears the remnants of Saxon paint.

Strawberry Hill bears medium sized, pure rose pink, cupped rosettes of superb quality. Their colour gradually pales to a lighter pink at the edges of the petals, eventually exposing glimpses of yellow stamens at the centre. The blooms are beautiful at all stages.
The growth is tall, vigorous and rather informal, with small clusters of blooms held on slightly arching brances. Strawberry Hill is very healthy with glossy, dark green foliage. This is a wonderful choice for a position to the rear of a mixed border, or for a border of shrub roses.
Strawberry Hill was awarded the Prix d'Honneur for fragrance from Nantes in 2007.
