David Austin Roses

You'll often hear the words English and David Austin roses used interchangeably. What is the story behind the name?

The story….

David Austin is an British breeder who first started work breeding roses in his own nursery in the 1960s. Old garden roses, which were losing popularity, were his main source in inspiration. His goal was to get the best traits of the antiques, the fragrance and grace, but in a more updated flower with repeating blooms. He definitely succeeded! So much so, that he was formally acknowledged by the Queen for his efforts. His roses have pretty much defined the industry for England, and have become popular the world over. Here are some of the favorites:
