An outstanding garden plant producing many charming, pure apricot rosettes. An excellent variety with flowers that are darker in the middle, paler towards the edges; a colour that blends well with other shades, especially dark reds and purples.

They are very numerous, but neatly arranged into shallowly cupped blooms that slowly open to form perfect rosettes with the outer petals reflexed back. There is a delicious, warm and sensuous fragrance. ‘Grace’ is a superb standard rose. Its broad, arching growth is balanced by a profusion of flowers displayed against gracefully hanging foliage. Very healthy and repeat flowers extremely well. Good for disease resistance. Highly fragrant and recommended by David Austin. Named to celebrate the special quality ‘grace’ which David Austin believes characterizes English Roses as a group, and this variety in particular.

The bright crimson colouring stands out when viewed from across the garden. Flowers are produced with remarkable continuity.

Very good in all climates: in warmer climates it can be trained as a climber with the support of a warm wall. Named to commemorate the life of the popular English composer, conductor and performer.

Carding Mill® Auswest English Rose/Shrub Rose Large blooms in shades of pink, apricot and yellow are deeply cupped, overall, giving the impression of rich apricot.

When fully open the center of the flower is well filled with petals, their closeness giving the impression of a rich, apricot - pink. Around the center, the loose ring of petals curl in slightly and so show their pale apricot yellow undersides. It will quickly make a lovely, bushy, rounded shrub with quite straight stems, the many flowers nodding just slightly. There is a strong and beautiful myrrh fragrance. ‘Carding Mill’ is an excellent, vigorous, medium-sized shrub. Many flowers nod slightly on its bushy growth habit.

Huntington Rose Ausjive English Rose/Shrub Rose A beautiful variety with deep pink, many petalled, gracefully nodding blooms. The flowers start as rounded buds, held in small clusters.

The outer petals are pale pink, while the centre petals are a pleasing shade of deep, glowing pink. There is a delicious, soft and warm Old Rose fragrance with a hint of citrus. The leaves are red at the bud stage, soon turning glossy green. They typically have seven to nine leaflets. This is a beautiful rose of true Old Rose character with attractive, incurving petals, which brings to mind one of Redouté’s illustrations, ‘Rose du Bengale’. A tough, healthy variety with elegant, arching stems. Allow a few seasons for this rose to reach full maturity, when it will form an attractive, rounded shrub rather like ‘Golden Celebration’. If pruned lightly, it will grow quite tall and be suitable for the back of a border. Pruned harder it will be of medium height, so could be placed closer to the front of the border.

It forms a healthy shrub with short, even, upright growth, similar to a Hybrid Tea or Floribunda rose. A reliable variety, it does well in all climates, be it colder than the UK or much warmer.

There is a delicious award- winning fragrance of delicious fresh tea with aspects of lemon and blackcurrants.

They have a delicious fresh tea fragrance which, interestingly, changes completely to lemon as the flowers age – eventually taking on additional hints of blackcurrants. Very healthy.
