Hi Pat! Welcome to Rose Forum!

'Glamis Castle' is a beautiful rose but vulnerable to Black Spot disease, so it may need to be sprayed regularly with fungicide in order to keep its foliage. I am sure others closer to TN will soon give you more information.

Again, welcome!! :)

I had it here in the Triad of NC, and I couldn't get it to grow well. It seemed unusually weak and susceptable to disease. I really have no problems with most Austins, too.

THIS is why I order Austin roses from David Austin Roses.

Rebecca- your roses are gorgeous but so much work. I live in Massachusetts. It is so difficult to even dig a hole 10 inches deep with all the rock, boulders and ledge so I try to buy only own root roses. I have gotten some wonderful own root roses from DA and have some more scheduled for delivery next week. I hope they add more own root to their collections. I recently ordered 'Queen of Sweden' and 'Windermere' which is by far my healthiest DA rose and covers herself with delicate soft blush pink blooms from early summer till fall. She is cane hardy in my Z5b-6a garden. The only negative is lack of the "to die for" strong perfume scent that Austins are so known for. sharon

Since this is a new rose bed that I started last year, do you think I should focus on only purchasing the bigger bushes that will go in the back (I want a full lush David Austin, English garden look) unless I see something I can’t resist, or just buy what I love and place smaller in front and hope I’ve left space accordingly? I hate to have to move them around. Also, regarding companion planting, do I wait till I get most of my roses in place? Although those can be easily moved in winter

Best David Austin’s for continuous blooming

I’ve been wondering if I should have gotten Darcey Bussel instead of Munstead Wood. MW is said to be much more fragrant, but in my garden it is only fragrant when conditions are just right. It’s an okay bloomer, but flowers lose their form, size and color in the heat of summer. The flowers crisp quickly in our dry summer heat. The spring and fall flowers are wonderful though. Sheila, do you have a MW? If so, how does it compare to DB? Stephanie? Bishop’s Castle would happily grow to 6 feet in my garden if well irrigated. I keep mine rather dry and the flowers are smaller, but it mostly stays about 4 feet and bushy. When the late summer monsoons come and the weather cools down, it shoots up taller basals that get pruned down in the winter.

What a lovely row of JA. I like the lavenders in there too. I just got this rose from our local rose society. So glad it is so beautiful!

Hi Pat, welcome to the forum! Hope you come back and post often. Good luck with whatever Austin you choose. I grow almost 50 of them and love them all, here in zone 5. I don't grow Glamis Castle, as it is supposed to be prone to blackspot. However, Claire Austin is another wonderful white rose that looks quite a bit like G.C. but is much more disease resistant, at least in my experience.

Here is a link that might be useful: Claire Austin

Hi Pat, Welcome to GW! I live an hour south of Chattanooga and it does fine for me. It doesn't really get blackspot but I do spray. Mine has been in a spot that didn't get the right amount of sun and still bloomed regularly but I have had some trees cut down so I hope it will bloom even more. I love it. I would think it would do great for you but hopefully the pros will chime in. Take care, Judy

There is a very recent white David Austin called 'Susan Williams-Ellis.' It is a sport of Austin's 'Mayflower' which is one of his most disease-resistant roses. 'Susan' is supposed to be like 'Mayflower' in every respect except that it is white, so it should have good rebloom and excellent disease-resistant.

If I had room left in my garden, I would order 'Susan."
