I don't think so, but never say never. I like the literary names. 2023 will mark a hundred years since the introduction of Lord Peter Wimsey, as well as a century since Katherine Mansfield's death. If Charlotte and/or Anne Brontë were honoured with a rose, too, I couldn't pass them up.
Hopefully not too morbid a question, but given how many years their breeding programme takes from initial seedlings to release, are we still then likely to be getting releases that were initially selected/considered/overseen by the original David Austin? If so, for how long might that continue? Just idly wondering.

Yes that's a super bridge in VS's garden, and home made too.. such skills I've never had..
Well, my new Burncoose order which I placed just Saturday is already despatched.. the kind of service I like..
Anyone intending to buy a new Austin at the end of the month?..

A lord Peter Wimsey rose would be wonderful, esp if not pink.
