US David Austin handbook 2021
I received my US David Austin handbook 2021 yesterday. If you are waiting for yours, you will receive it soon. It’s beautiful. Each rose has its close up and bush shots. I love it.
Normally there was a 15% coupon code included with the previous years’ handbooks. There is no coupon in this year's handbook. With the current situation, people have to stay home and work on their gardens, so we won’t see many coupons offered in garden related things.

Winter performance of David Austin roses in Zone 6a
Comments (96)@Ann Marie, I have a few climbers and ramblers on a trellis and my best advice is to make sure your rose is hardy for your climate by choosing ones that are atleast one or two hardiness zones below yours. That’s the best way to ensure cane survival through winter (right plant, right place). If the rose is near a wall that retains and reflect heat, then I do zone push and have had success with climbers my zone or one zone above. For example, I’m in zone 4b and I have no problems with New Dawn and James Galway surviving winter without protection on a northwest and southwest wall, respectively. As for training the rose, my approach is to tie the canes tight against the support so that it is secure and doesn’t whip around or rub. I do this in the late winter / early spring when the rose is dormant along with pruning so that I can see the rose’s framework. It also means that I’m working with only hardened canes (I never tie soft or semi-hard canes). I use simple garden twine and tie tight double knots. I don’t skimp and make sure the final rose frame work absolutely does not move. I tie the largest, most established canes to the support first, then the rest. I may even tie smaller canes to the bigger ones. Yes, it’s “crossing branches” but so long as they are tied tight and not rubbing, I find it’s totally fine. Key is no movement of any of those framework canes. I intentionally use twine because it blends in, is cheap, and will eventually degrade (since I do this all over again every winter/spring). If the rose cane is really old and has a tough bark and I know it’s not going to expand, then I tie into the support with black zip ties (gasp!). I’ll also mention that optimal blooms form on canes that are positioned between horizontal and 45 degrees.

Comments (11)I thought DA put the code in the new catalog that comes out at different times depending on your zone. So customers in warm zones get their catalogs much earlier than I would in z5a because they ship there much earlier. I thought last year I received the catalog in December, but I haven't seen anything as of yet. I am hoping someone in the warm zones will post the code. Thank you....See MoreSmall busines and David Austin roses. Terrible news.
Comments (75)In the past, I've paid way more than that for plants but not roses lol.. I wouldn't pay it nowdays. With Covid and the shut downs etc came a huge movement to become more self sustainable. The housing market has gone berzerk and more people are moving out of crowded city apartments and into homes. Many are starting their first gardens. There is also a HUGE homesteading movement in this coutry. Back to basics and farming on a small scale. So many people while exploring vegetable gardening, have also discovered a new love for flowers and America's best known and probably favorite flowers are roses! This is why seed companies and other plant companies can't keep up with the demand. We've been doing some building projects around the farm and have noticed the prices of lumber have gone crazy. Every few weeks 2x4x8's and plywood increase. I used to find cheaper plywood here (pre covid) for about $13..that same plywood today is $28. Houses are being built like crazy in our area and across the US causing wood prices to soar....See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoHi, Friends,
I heard on a thread a little confusion as to why David Austin Roses was not going to sell to the small nurseries this year 2021 and I found an article explains the issue. It probably is due to pandemic, but I hope they will build back in future. This article explains they are “low in stock.” Best wishes to our beloved , “David Austin Rises!”!

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoMore info about Nye Bevan rose.
An uplifting rose bearing unusual open cupped flowers of soft yellow, paling to cream. The scallop-shaped, incurved petals are loosely yet generously assembled around a central boss of golden stamens, creating a soft, airy appearance. There is a spectacular first flush of blooms, which are borne in well-spaced sprays and displayed proudly against the mid-green, semi-glossy foliage. Forms a healthy, medium-sized upright bush with a light myrrh fragrance, whose hips must be removed to encourage repeat flowering. It's a medium shrub: 3.5ft (90cm) H and 2.5ft (75cm) W.
It is named in honor of Aneurin (Nye) Bevan, founder of Britain’s National Health Service and in recognition of the NHS, its people, and associated organizations and charities. £2.50 ($3.49) from the sale of each Nye Bevan rose will be donated to a selection of NHS and other health-based charities.
