The Pilgrim rose

The Pilgrim

David Austin did the rose world a great service, with his introduction of the "English Rose" varieties. The Pilgrim is one of his best, in my opinion. English roses are really something special - here in Timaru, New Zealand, we are fortunate enough to have a rose garden full of his roses...if you would like to see photos and read more about the Trevor Griffiths rose garden then click here.

David Austin's earlier crosses seem to be more vigorous, less disease prone, and generally "better doers", than his later ones.
