Comments (37)Abraham Darby, Evelyn , and Crown Princess Margreta have all been cancelled by DA UK. I have The Lady Gardener and am not particularly impressed with it so far. Very healthy but few blooms and not particularly distinctive in either color or fragrance, but it's only a year old so will have to see next summer. In constrast, the pink rose Olivia bloomed like a fiend its first year. It is also next to Claire Austin, which pretty much has a bud for me from Spring into December now that I found the spot. I found an Evelyn sort of unexpectedly because it so unavailable generally and am eagerly awaiting its first blooms this spring. Bathsheba actually looks sort of interesing but the website shows it as sort of orangey but when you see it elsewhere, it looks much paler....See MoreTHIS is why I order Austin roses from David Austin Roses.
Comments (32)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...See MoreAny updates on the Palatine/new Austins offerings?
Comments (28)Susan, I found several places on the web that state AUSire is synonymous with AUSuire, aka The Squire. That designation seems to be mainly used in the UK and Australia. It could be a simple typo promulgated by inadvertent copying of the original mistake, or it may have been intentional, but only in those countries. But AUSire is The Squire :) https://www.wagnersrosenursery.com.au/products/the-squire https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/103934703879449323/ https://aroseisaroseisarose.com/2019/09/17/david-austin/ (scroll to the bottom) http://risingoaks.blogspot.com/2009/11/forest-living-fall-roses-2009.html (scroll down to the red rose) There are many more, those are just the first four mentions I came across EDIT: here's an entry from the semi-official "The Guide to Who Grows What", the UK version of The Combined Rose List.
