Some roses feel like they have always belonged, nodding gently in the breeze, filling the air with soft fragrance, and settling into a garden as if they were always meant to be there. Rosa Emma Bridgewater is one of them.

Handsomely named ‘Dannahue’, a nod to Danny’s full forename, the apricot-hued English shrub rose is noted for its beauty, excellent health, and fragrance. After 12 years of meticulous breeding, David Austin^® Roses is delighted to launch a new English shrub rose named after Danny Clarke – The Black Gardener, with £10,000 from the proceeds donated to not-for-profit Grow2Know.

David Austin Roses were invited to Bedwellty House in Tredegar, Wales to commemorate their newest rose which is named after Nye Bevan, founder of the NHS.

We are delighted to enter the season of giving by donating £100,000 between our chosen health-based charities: NHS Charities Together, National Garden Scheme & Alexandra Rose Charity.

On December 15th 1920 Ralph Vaughn Williams' classical piece 'The Lark Ascending' premiered for the first time in Shirehampton Public Hall. 100 years on it is being performed once more in the same venue.

Susan Williams-Ellis was the renowned designer and founder behind the iconic Portmeirion Pottery. Known for it's British style, many of the designs are inspired by nature with a number of pieces featuring roses including the English Rose Scarborough Fair.

First bred by David Austin over 30 years ago, this rose was named after the influential garden designer and horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll.
