We've a lot of David Austin roses, most are here on our "rose patio" our former koi pool.
I bought half a dozen bare root ones two years ago. Altogether we've more than two dozen roses, most are in pots. Only about a third are David Austin.
Today, a David Austin catalogue arrived. " They know where you live!" and my wife grabbed it before I could put it in the bin.
So "we've" ordered two more bare root roses, Gertrude Jeckyll and Vanessa Bell.
It's likely that two on the rose patio will eventually get relegated
to "the alley of shame," (the drive next to the side of our house, where out of favour roses end up rather than in the bin. they struggle a bit as they don't get much sun).There's half a dozen down there at the moment.But there's room for a few more.
The descision to be taken in the spring.
This red rose from a garden centre a few years ago which was mislabelled and should have been white, she particularly dislikes, (she says red roses remind her of funerals).
When it's breezy, "it waves at her through the side kitchen window, just to annoy her."

Wait till you see the size of the plants, and the roots... I doubt you'll be disappointed. I hope they do well for you...
