English Roses
I’ve been growing David Austin’s “English Roses” for about 5 years now. I grew them in California, and now have almost 20 here in England. I just bought a new one this weekend named after David Austin’s daughter, “Claire Austin”.
I love photographing my roses, which is obvious to anyone who explores this weblog at any length, there’s pictures of them everywhere. I’ve decided to pull my favourite photo of each rose I’ve photographed from my old and new gardens, as well as the photos from the Chelsea Flower show and my visits to David Austin’s gardens in Albrighton… and make one gallery just of English Roses.
