The promise of a David Austin^® rose is many things…

It is a guarantee of unrivalled breeding expertise that retains traditional methods and protects the craftsmanship of hybridising an English rose. It is a promise of plentiful choice, an unmatched collection of roses bred on a family farm that is still at the heart of the business. It is a pledge of sustainability, from recyclable packaging to rainwater irrigation systems. And of course, it is the reassurance of a service that you know you can depend on. Our leading aftercare and advice, along with our five-year guarantee, means we have our customers at the core of everything we do.

It also goes without saying that planting a single English rose brings years and years of bountiful blooms summer after summer!

From their enchanting variety of colours and sizes to their delightful fragrances and versatile growth habits, English roses offer something for every gardener.

One of the most appealing features of English roses is their range of colours. From soft pastels like blush pink and creamy white, to bold shades of bright yellow and vibrant orange, there’s a colour to suit every taste. Our diverse palette of English roses allows gardeners to create breathtaking displays, whether you want a classic romantic garden or a vibrant contemporary landscape. The different hues also provide the perfect backdrop for complementary plants and flowers.

English roses come in various sizes, making them suitable for any garden space. Whether you have a sprawling estate or a small urban garden, there’s an English rose variety that fits your needs. From compact shrub roses that provide abundant blooms without taking up much room to tall climbing varieties that can cover walls, trellises, or fences, these roses can enhance vertical space beautifully.

For those seeking climbers, varieties like Malvern Hills^® (Auscanary) and Claire Austin^®
(Ausprior) are excellent choices. Malvern Hills^® produces clusters of cheerful yellow blooms, perfect for brightening up any garden, while Claire Austin^® offers lovely, fragrant white blooms that add elegance and charm to any structure.

Another significant advantage of growing English roses is their captivating fragrances. Many varieties are renowned for their intense scents, ranging from sweet and floral to fruity and spicy. Gertrude Jekyll^® (Ausbord) is renowned for its strong, classic rose scent, evoking a traditional garden atmosphere. The medium to strong fragrances of English roses make them perfect for sensory gardens or areas where you want to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.

English roses are typically known for their repeat flowering characteristics. Unlike some traditional varieties that bloom only once in the season, many English roses will produce blooms from summer through to the first frosts, ensuring that your garden remains vibrant and colourful for months. This blooming period means you can enjoy the beauty and fragrance of your roses for a more extended time, making them a worthwhile investment for any gardener.

Growing English roses in your garden adds beauty and charm and offers a rewarding gardening experience. With their wide range of colours, sizes, and growth habits, as well as their delightful fragrances and repeat flowering capabilities, English roses can bring joy and elegance to any outdoor space. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out, these versatile plants will inspire you to create your own rose-filled paradise.
