David Austin
Roses
There are newer varieties by other hybridizers, but the vast majority are from Mr. Austin's garden. And all are a direct result of his methods.
Modern English Roses are:
In my experience more particular than other classes about where they are planted.
Hardiness varies greatly, research is essential for more than one season of blooms.
Very disease resistant
Size depends on where you garden.
Warmer climates can create very large English Rose bushs
In my zone they seem to stay fairly compact.
The Modern English roses tend to appear 'delicate'
The canes are slender, the blossoms big.
Prune wisely, less is more in my experience, in my zone
Winter protection is suggested no matter the variety
I absolutely adore my David Austin roses
They can be a little more work, but well worth it.
