What is your most prolific Blooming David Austin?
Comments (67)Pat Austin is my most prolific bloomer, but she's also 9feet tall. Tons of flowers, but unfortunately blow quickly. Scepter D'Isle, same. Tons of blooms that blow quickly. Darcey Bussel is a good bloomer, the dark lady and Sophy's rose are both blooming machines. Evelyn is a favorite. Huntington rose blooms very well too. Charlotte is one of the best and has stayed compact. Tamora is also wonderful. Carding Mill gets some BS for me. Litchfield Angel is a decent bloomer and has great disease resistance. Oliva Rose (new this year) is EVERYTHING they said she'd be. In every aspect a great rose. Prolific, beautiful blooms that last, and one of the most disease resistant roses I grow. I'm very impressed with her and plan to get a few more next season....See Morenewb rose grower: how early to detect problems in David Austin roses?
Comments (12)All the plants have buds and Munstead Wood is the first to bloom-- 9 flowers have opened and 9 more developing. I gave them water and nothing else for weeks, then as they started getting bigger, sprinklings of bloodmeal and half-doses of fish emulsion. At some point I tried giving them a bit of diluted potassium with indeterminate results. (Maybe because I got muriate of potash instead of the potassium chloride, sulfide or whatever it is that's supposed to be better?) Once I gave them water left over from cooking beans (no salt) and they seemed to like it fine. Sorry I don't have any pictures of the whole plants yet, but they do seem like they are taking off. Though Munstead Wood, Lady of Shallot, and Jude the Obscure are growing with big open spaces between canes-- I don't know if these are the reported David Austin octopus arms, or pest damage to terminal shoots that would otherwise fill out the center of the bush, or particular growth habit in Houston, TX weather, or if it's just something it'll grow out of after a year and some pruning. The other, younger two plants that I've messed with the least, Lady Emma Hamilton and Brother Cadfael, have much more attractive foliage and look more bushy/shrubby. LEH has sixteen buds already and is nicely rounded, while BC, who has been growing tall thick canes and took the longest to leaf out and bud, looks more like a sturdy column shape. They are all at least two to three and a half feet off the soil level. So far the scent on MW is very sweet, like berry candy and rosewater (rather than dried rose petals), and seems stronger after a fish emulsion feeding. Can't wait for the others! Thanks to everyone for being present on this forum. I've been going through a lot of posts and learning a bunch!...See MoreWhich David Austin Rose, zone 6a?
Comments (23)Geez. . .so many! I'm overwhelmed now, lol. Looking at Palantine. ANyone have any suggestions to narrow it down a bit? haha! Wow. This will take me forever to choose. I definitely have one dead one to replace so I can stick a smallish shrub rose there (it's in amongst an Alexander Mackenzie and 2 Martin Frobishers, so . .they will get quite large.) And I have a small spot at the front that I was thinking maybe just a tea rose .. And another one I think is dead . .again probably small shrub there. Need to go out this morning and check a few others that I think are being taken over by rootstock. What on earth happened in my garden this year???!!! Geez....See MoreFavorite David Austin Roses for Zone 7?
Comments (28)hi diane - thanks for responding. i just checked with the state of california, department of agriculture, pest exclusion branch, 6 weeks ago. indeed, you are correct that i can't import plants with soil without extensive certification, but california says that cuttings are exempt from certification. in fact, they wrote me that bare-root roses are exempt as well. apparently, cal ag is concerned with pests in the soil (and perhaps to a lesser extent pests on leaves) but feels that stems/cuttings are safe. i don't know if idaho restricts exports, and you would of course have to be comfortable and interested. no worries if you're not. but i am happy to forward to you the go-ahead email i received from cal ag. i am johnsmolowe@gmail.com...See MoreRelated Professionals

Evelyn on a semi regular basis. She seems to produce a number of bloom structures.
Brother Cadfael
And even Boscobel on occasion.

Robert, my Jude might as well be a climber because it's large and very tall. But it's self supporting. I agree that Wollerton Old Hall does look very like Jude.
Thanks, Carol. Jude likes to have his pic taken.
Seaside, I agree with Carol that your Royal Jubilee is a lovely, very cupped shaped rose.
KS, great minds and all that. Jude is one cupped shaped rose, for sure.
Jude

9 months agolast modified: 9 months agoThis thread reminds me of a blog post I read on rose forms/shapes..
https://hedgerowrose.com/rose-gardening/2016/02/10/examples-of-bloom-form-and-petal-count-in-roses/
I got to thinking how so many forms are kind of mixed like both globular and cupped..or both cupped and quarted. Some are very globular but once they open they are more cupped.
I love anything globular, cupped, or /and quartered.
Alnwick Rose is very cupped
I agree with Diane, Boscobol is often cupped here. I had one screaming coral bloom open today
some of Boscobol's past blooms
in a pink mood usually during cooler weather
Spirit of Freedom
Jude looking globular & cupped
Peach Swirl smells yummy & has deep cups for hiding little frogs.
Jubilee Celebration
Princess Alexandra of Kent has big fluffy cupcake blooms

9 months agolast modified: 9 months agoI'll add that one of the things I find charming about the Alnwick Rose is that its blooms close in the evening and take on an especially cupped shape. It does this for pretty much the entire lifespan of the bloom until it's nearly spent. This is a day-three bloom after sunset. Bliss Parfuma sometimes closes a bit for me, too, but it's not nearly so pronounced.

Krystal, thank you so much. How could I forget Ascot? And Windowsill, your photo of Alnwick Rose is a work of art. Diane

Oh, good grief. I just realizes this thread is about deeply cupped Austin roses, and Ascot is definitely not an Austin. So......
Eglantyne
I really prefer her frillier look which is more common.

How could I forget Golden Cel?
Or the divine E?
Her parent Tamora?
Or Mr Twotone, The Prince?
