warm myrrh fragrance. The open blooms are a lovely rich glowing pink at the center, paling towards the

edges. Over time, a cluster of golden stamens is revealed at the heart of each bloom. Ideal for the middle or

back of the border; it works equally well planted on its own, creating a dramatic display. A very healthy and

vigorous rose, it will quickly for a larger than average shrub. The name was inspired by Samuel Taylor

Coleridge’s epic poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Highly recommended by David Austin Roses.

Carding Mill®

Auswest


Large blooms in shades of pink, apricot and yellow are deeply cupped, overall, giving the impression of rich

apricot. At the bud stage, when the petals are just starting to unfurl, the inside of the petals are a very rich, deep

apricot as opposed to the paler, soft yellow undersides. When fully open the center of the flower is well filled

with petals, their closeness giving the impression of a rich, apricot - pink. Around the center, the loose ring of

petals curl in slightly and so show their pale apricot yellow undersides. It will quickly make a lovely, bushy,

rounded shrub with quite straight stems, the many flowers nodding just slightly. There is a strong and beautiful

myrrh fragrance. ‘Carding Mill’ is an excellent, vigorous, medium-sized shrub. Carding Mill is an extremely

beautiful valley in the Long Mynd just to the west of the David Austin nursery in Shropshire. Enjoys warmer

climates. Bred by David Austin.

Ausdecorum


Beautiful, deep crimson rosettes with a delightful fruity fragrance. An exceptional variety which flowers freely

and repeats well. Very healthy. Compact, bushy growth. Good red roses are never easy to breed, so we are

particularly pleased to introduce ‘Darcey Bussell’, as we believe it is one of the best and most healthy red roses

we have bred to date. Its beautiful flowers are produced freely and with excellent continuity. When young, their

outer petals form a perfect ring around an inner cup; gradually opening out to form a perfect rosette. The color

is a deep rich crimson that takes on a tinge of mauve just before the petals drop. It has a pleasing, fruity

fragrance with hints of green. Darcey Bussell is the highly acclaimed ballerina. She was appointed principal at

the Royal Ballet at the age of 20 and has danced in the title role of many ballets around the world. She has been

honored with many awards, including the OBE in 1995. Winner of the Chauncey Beadle Award for Best Shrub

Exquisitely beautiful with an exceptionally long flowering season. 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 flower over an

exceptionally long season, maintain their shape during wet weather. A lovely Old Rose and almond blossom

fragrance with hints of cucumber and lemon zest. ‘Desdemona’ forms a very healthy and most attractive neat,

rounded, bushy shrub. It is perfect for growing in a pure rose border or for combining with other shrubs and

perennials in a mixed border. Highly recommend by David Austin Roses.

Falstaff

Ausverse


‘Falstaff’ bears large, shallowly cupped blooms of rich, dark crimson, which eventually turn a wonderful shade

of rich purple. They are of exquisite form and quality, packed with numerous petals which interfold at the

center. This helps to create a lovely, glowing effect within an enclosed saucer of outer petals. There is a

powerful Old Rose fragrance. It forms a substantial bushy shrub with strong, rather upright growth; the flowers

nodding nicely on the stem. The foliage is quite large and rather modern in character. It also makes an

impressive short climber. Named for the well-loved Shakespearean character, who was the faithful companion

of Prince Hal (the future Henry V).

Golden Celebration®

Ausgold


An award-winning rose with magnificent, cupped, golden yellow blooms. This is one of the largest-flowered of

all our English Roses, excelling in all climates. The rich golden yellow flowers are in the form of giant, full-

petalled cups. These are initially tea-scented but often develop a wonderful combination of Sauternes wine and

strawberry. The flowers are held beautifully poised, slightly nodding on long arching branches. The ample

foliage is large, glossy and light green, resisting disease well. ‘Golden Celebration’ is a very reliable variety,

which is easy to grow. It has excellent shapely growth, forming a nicely rounded, slightly arching shrub. In

warmer climates it can also be trained as a short climber. Named for its glorious color. Its name makes it the

perfect rose for commemorating Golden Weddings, 50th Anniversaries or any other celebration or important

event. An award-winning variety: in every way an excellent garden plant. Bred by David Austin.

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. There is a particularly lovely and strong tea

fragrance which has hints of cedar wood and vanilla. Altogether an excellent garden shrub that will repeat

flower quickly, stand up well to rain and stay very healthy. Its height very much depends on how it is pruned.

Named to raise awareness for Plant Heritage and their important work to protect Britain’s garden plant

diversity. The National Collection of English Roses in the David Austin Rose Gardens are maintained in

Albrighton, Shropshire. Very healthy. Bred and highly recommended by David Austin.

Lady of Shalott™

Ausnyson


One of the hardiest and most reliable of the David Austin roses. Good for disease resistance and poor soil and

will bloom with unusual continuity throughout the season. The young buds are a rich orange-red that open to

form chalice-shaped striking apricot-yellow blooms filled with loosely arranged petals. Each petal has a salmon

pink upper side, which contrasts beautifully with the attractive golden yellow reverse. The flowers have a

pleasant, warm Tea fragrance, with hints of spiced apple and cloves. The flowers create a spectacular show of

color and are beautifully displayed against the mid-green leaves, which have attractive, slightly bronzed tones

when young. Position this rose toward the middle or back of the border. It would also make a great choice for

landscaping large areas. Named for the Tennyson Society. The name is taken from one of Alfred, Lord

Tennyson’s poems to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth. The poem tells the story of The Lady of

Shalott, who lived in a castle close to King Arthur’s Camelot and was held in a spell. Recipient of the RHS

Award of Garden Merit. Highly recommended and bred by David Austin.

Munstead Wood

Ausbernard


A healthy variety with sumptuous, deep velvety crimson blooms. Light crimson buds gradually open to reveal

very deep velvety crimson blooms, with lighter colored outer petals. The flowers are large cups at first,

becoming shallowly cupped with time. As the flowers age, we get glimpses of the stigma and stamens amongst

the petals. There is a strong Old Rose scent which our fragrance expert, Robert Calkin, assesses as “warm and

fruity with blackberry, blueberry and damson notes”. The bushy, spreading growth forms a broad shrub with

good disease resistance. The young leaves are red-bronze, later turning mid-green, forming a nice contrast. A

relatively short shrub, it is ideal for planting towards the front of a border. Munstead Wood was the name of the

horticulturalist and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll’s home in Surrey, England. It was designed by the architect,

Sir Edwin Lutyens, whose professional partnership with Jekyll was one of the most influential of the Arts and

Crafts movement. Gertrude Jekyll wrote her many gardening books at Munstead Wood and it was her home for

most of her life. Munstead Wood has won several awards, including being voted ‘Flower of the Year 2009’ by

readers of the French magazine, Rustica; being presented with the gold medal for fragrance at the 2011 Japan

Rose Society trials and, also in 2011, winning Portland’s Best Rose Contest for Best Shrub Class in the USA.

Recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Highly recommended and bred by David Austin.

The Poet’s Wife

Auswhisper


Beautiful, unfading yellow cupped flowers with a rich, fruity fragrance. Low, naturally rounded growth.

Exceptional fragrance and ideal for pots and containers. ‘The Poet’s Wife’ 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. There is a rich fragrance with strong lemon tints at first, becoming sweeter and

stronger with age. It forms a naturally arching shrub, with rather shiny Leander-type foliage. It is perfect for

incorporating into a traditional rose border or for blending with other plants in a mixed border. Bred and highly

recommended by David Austin.

Princess Alexandra of Kent

Ausmerchant


Magnificent and unusually large flowers, deeply cupped of warm, glowing pink. There is an award-winning

fragrance of delicious fresh tea with aspects of lemon and blackcurrants. The ring of soft pink outer petals

enclosing the warm pink inner petals, creating a most pleasing effect. In spite of their size, the flowers are never

clumsy and are held nicely poised above the foliage. Very healthy. It forms a well-rounded shrub. Due to the

large size of the blooms, there is a lot to be said for planting in groups of three and pruning to form a single,

shapely shrub - this keeps both flowers and growth nicely balanced. Position this rose towards the front of the

border. We were honored to name this rose for Princess Alexandra, who is a cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. She

is a keen gardener and great lover of roses. Recipient of the Glasgow 29 Fragrance Award and California’s

Desert Rose Society Show’s Most Fragrant Award. Bred and highly recommended by David Austin.

Winchester Cathedral™

Auscat


Delicious Old Rose fragrance with hints of honey and almond blossom, which becomes much stronger in

warmer weather. Very free-flowering. A lovely sport of the beautiful ‘Mary Rose’. It shares all of the virtues of

its parent, and is similar in every way, except that the flowers are white, occasionally with the slightest touch of

buff pink at the center. The overall effect is excellent, producing a mass of flowers and continuing to bloom at

regular intervals throughout the summer. The individual blooms are in the form of medium-sized, loose-petalled

rosettes of typical Old Rose character. ‘Winchester Cathedral’ is a first class garden shrub with well-shaped,

twiggy, bushy growth and nice foliage. It looks particularly beautiful in a mixed border mingling with other

plants and perennials. It is particularly winter hardy. Named after one of the finest cathedrals in Britain. Bred by

strong tea rose fragrance. It is extremely healthy and repeat flowers well. ‘Teasing Georgia’ is a first class
