Heirloom Roses Summer Clearance Sale
Comments (100)sunnishine - Francis Dubreuil was a "he", not a "she". He was the rose breeder that first hired Antoine Meilland (Papa Meilland) to work with roses when Antoine was just 16. Antoine ended up marrying Francis' only daughter, Claudia, making Francis the grandparent to the son of Antoine and Claudia, who was also named Francis. The younger Francis' other grandparent (Antoine Meilland's mother) was Grand'mère Jenny, which also happens to be a lovely HT rose from 1950. Francis Meilland was the breeder of "Peace". Your history lesson for today is now completed....See MoreHeirloom Roses sale on David Austin Roses
Comments (5)Virginia, yes I am intrigued by the reports I've seen of BB's "unique" coloration that is apparently so hard to describe/photograph. I have a spot on my fence for him where I don't think he'll clash too badly if "unique" is really code for "ick." I went back and got The Shepherdess as well...I hope she will do well in a sunny spot in the yard. I have been so pleased with my three Mayflower shrubs this year (my first DA roses) and I am looking forward to expanding my DA collection. Good luck with Mortimer and thanks for the tip!...See MoreDid anyone order during Heirloom's HT Sale?
Comments (6)Yep I did mostly to replace a couple of roses that died. One apparently got wiped out by the dogs and another seems to not have survived the dig during the septic re-do. Those were SHEER BLISS and GREAT CENTURY respectively. Then I added a replacement FORGOTTEN DREAMS (died a couple yrs ago) and a new one for me SWEET LOVE. They ship out next week I believe. Am looking forward to seeing them all bloom!...See MoreRose Sale Catalog -- National Heirloom Exposition
