David Austin Roses are bred by crossing old garden roses with more modern roses to achieve the superb fragrance, delicacy, and charm of the old-style blooms combined with the repeat flowering characteristics and wide color range of modern roses. Some English varieties are extra vigorous in warm areas as very large shrubs and some may want to become semi-climbers.
In cooler climates, pruning can be delayed until spring growth is just starting. On all plants, remove very week, old and woody and dead and diseased stems. Prune back between 1/3 and 2/3, depending on what height you would like your rose to reach next season. Each year, remove some of the older stems to encourage fresh, new growth from the base.
Start by placing blocks of polystyrene at the bottom of your pot; these will help the rose to drain adequately throughout the season.
For almost 60 years David Austin Roses has been breeding exquisite English Roses. Renowned for their beautiful, often many petalled, repeat flowering blooms and enticing, rich fragrances there are now over 200 rose varieties bred by David Austin, each one making a fantastic contribution to any garden.
