Help with choosing David Austins
Comments (13)Thanks for your replies. I do not have any issues with David Austins with respect to my zone which is actually closer to a US zone 4. (I'm in Canada). I do have 3 David Austins which is a bit of disappointment only because I wanted pink blooms and somehow turned out incorrectly labeled when they were purchased from a seasonal garden centre... long story short, I learned my lesson and will buy them from a rose supplier this time around. David Austins (not own root) do very well in Ontario, for as long as the root graft union is protected. I had forgotten about the Eglantyn and so thanks for pointing out the plant. I wanted old fashioned style, large cupped and repeat blooms. Scepter'd Isle is not something I have heard of (for David Austins) and I'll look it up. In anycase, thanks for the pointers. i will look up every one of your recommendations....See MoreHelp me ID my David Austin Rose

Comments (7)Sadly this is the only photo I have of my rose in CA, I was hoping to buy a similar one in Florence, Italy where I now live. For some reason I keep coming back to GJekyll although other people have mentioned it being extremely thorny, mine was not thorny at all! I did look at the pics for Charles RM as mentioned above but the flowers seem to have a lot more petals and a closed look than mine. Although mine were frilly they were fairly open in the outer part....See MoreIf you could only choose one David Austin rose
Comments (35)Sophia, Treloars ( in Victoria ) sell Soul Sister, bare root, winter mail order. They are on line, so, if you haven't checked them out yet, give them a look. They also have a very comprehensive list of DA roses. If you are looking for Julia Child at any time ( some VERY beautiful pics on various threads) Treloars have that listed as Soul Mate....See Morerosecanadian
