Austin
Whilst we tend to think of all Roses as being ancient, the Austin roses are a relatively new introduction to the Rose world. David Austin from Shropshire in England began taking the rose world by storm 30 years ago with his modern "old world roses".
In the words of the breeder, English Roses have the following characteristics: - Beauty of form, purity of colour, pleasing natural growth habit and a strong fragrance. English Roses combine well in natural borders and shrubberies because of their less formal habit. While many look like old fashioned roses they fulfill the modern desire for a long flowering period and repeat well throughout the season.

Most have cuped or flat blooms or a combination of both. The individual flowers are made up of multiple layers of petals giving a full and charming effect. There is the odd single or semi-double form in the collection which are no less charming for their simplicity.
Generally Austin Roses have been bred to be disease resistant however this does not mean they can be neglected. As with all garden plants regular watering, feeding and preventative care will provide the best results.
