Altogether an excellent garden shrub that will repeat flower quickly, stand up well to rain and stay very healthy. Its height very much depends on how it is pruned.

Lady of Shalott™ Ausnyson English Rose/Shrub Rose One of the hardiest and most reliable of the David Austin roses. Good for disease resistance and poor soil and will bloom with unusual continuity throughout the season. The young buds are a rich orange-red that open to form chalice-shaped striking apricot-yellow blooms filled with loosely arranged petals. Each petal has a salmon pink upper side, which contrasts beautifully with the attractive golden yellow reverse. The flowers have a pleasant, warm Tea fragrance, with hints of spiced apple and cloves.

Position this rose toward the middle or back of the border. It would also make a great choice for landscaping large areas. Named for the Tennyson Society. The name is taken from one of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poems to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth.

Munstead Wood Ausbernard English Rose/Shrub Rose A healthy variety with sumptuous, deep velvety crimson blooms. Light crimson buds gradually open to reveal very deep velvety crimson blooms, with lighter colored outer petals. The flowers are large cups at first, becoming shallowly cupped with time. As the flowers age, we get glimpses of the stigma and stamens amongst the petals. There is a strong Old Rose scent which our fragrance expert, Robert Calkin, assesses as “warm and fruity with blackberry, blueberry and damson notes”. The bushy, spreading growth forms a broad shrub with good disease resistance. The young leaves are red-bronze, later turning mid-green, forming a nice contrast. A relatively short shrub, it is ideal for planting towards the front of a border. Munstead Wood was the name of the horticulturalist and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll’s home in Surrey, England. It was designed by the architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, whose professional partnership with Jekyll was one of the most influential of the Arts and Crafts movement. Gertrude Jekyll wrote her many gardening books at Munstead Wood and it was her home for most of her life. Munstead Wood has won several awards, including being voted ‘Flower of the Year 2009’ by readers of the French magazine, Rustica; being presented with the gold medal for fragrance at the 2011 Japan Rose Society trials and, also in 2011, winning Portland’s Best Rose Contest for Best Shrub Class in the USA. Recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Highly recommended and bred by David Austin.

The ring of soft pink outer petals enclosing the warm pink inner petals, creating a most pleasing effect. In spite of their size, the flowers are never clumsy and are held nicely poised above the foliage. Very healthy. It forms a well-rounded shrub. Due to the large size of the blooms, there is a lot to be said for planting in groups of three and pruning to form a single, shapely shrub - this keeps both flowers and growth nicely balanced. Position this rose towards the front of the border. We were honored to name this rose for Princess Alexandra, who is a cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. She is a keen gardener and great lover of roses.

Claire Austin Ausprior English Rose/Climbing Rose There is something a little special about white roses – they are all purity and light – and yet really good white roses are rare among English Roses and Hybrid Tea Roses alike. This is because white roses are very difficult to breed. ‘Claire Austin’ bears pleasingly cupped buds of a pale lemon shade which gradually open to form large, creamy white flowers of typical English Musk delicacy; their petals perfectly arranged in concentric circles, with a few more loosely arranged in the center. They have a strong fragrance based on myrrh with dashes of meadowsweet, vanilla and heliotrope. Strong and particularly healthy. Undoubtedly one of our finest white roses to date. This vigorous, upright rose makes a very good climber in both beauty and performance. If grown against a warm wall, as we do here in the Lion Garden, it can easily reach a couple of extra feet in height. Claire Austin is David Austin’s daughter. She has a nursery which specializes in hardy plants, including the UK's finest collection of irises, peonies and day lilies. Good for disease resistance. Repeat flowering.

Climbing Iceberg Climbing Rose A climbing sport of the well-known Floribunda - there are few Floribundas that have successfully produced climbing sports. However, ‘Climbing Iceberg’ lives up to the high expectations we would have of its parent, sharing the bush’s extremely reliable characteristics whilst also taking on a new elegance with its longer growth. Very floriferous throughout the season, the small, lightly double flowers open wide and are held in large clusters. They are usually pure white but are sometimes tinged with pink later in the season. There is a light, sweet fragrance. The glossy, light green, rather narrow leaves are held on smooth, slender stems. A quick growing variety; the growth is both vigorous and bushy. The stems are not too stiff, so it can easily be trained over an arch or pergola. It looks particularly attractive tumbling over a fence or trellis. An excellent climbing rose. Very continuous flowering. Recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
