Hybrid Tea

clipping of the rose made its way from France to the Conard-Pyle Co. for safekeeping during the war.
Coincidentally, the AARS named Peace its only winner for 1946 on the same day Japan surrendered,
effectively ending the war. More popular today than when it was first introduced. Voted into the Rose Hall of

Ausoutcry
English Rose/Shrub Rose
An impressive variety, bearing masses of very large blooms almost continually from June until the first
frosts. Beautiful at all stages, the pink buds gradually open to many petalled, incurved cups with a strong,
warm myrrh fragrance. The open blooms are a lovely rich glowing pink at the center, paling towards the
edges. Over time, a cluster of golden stamens is revealed at the heart of each bloom. Ideal for the middle
or back of the border; it works equally well planted on its own, creating a dramatic display. A very
healthy and vigorous rose, it will quickly for a larger than average shrub. The name was inspired by
Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s epic poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Highly recommended by David
Austin Roses.

Auswest
English Rose/Shrub Rose
Large blooms in shades of pink, apricot and yellow are deeply cupped, overall, giving the impression of rich
apricot. At the bud stage, when the petals are just starting to unfurl, the inside of the petals are a very rich,
deep apricot as opposed to the paler, soft yellow undersides. When fully open the center of the flower is well
filled with petals, their closeness giving the impression of a rich, apricot - pink. Around the center, the loose
ring of petals curl in slightly and so show their pale apricot yellow undersides. It will quickly make a lovely,
bushy, rounded shrub with quite straight stems, the many flowers nodding just slightly. There is a strong and
beautiful myrrh fragrance. ‘Carding Mill’ is an excellent, vigorous, medium-sized shrub. Carding Mill is an
extremely beautiful valley in the Long Mynd just to the west of the David Austin nursery in Shropshire. Enjoys
warmer climates. Bred by David Austin.

Ausdecorum
English Rose/Shrub Rose
Beautiful, deep crimson rosettes with a delightful fruity fragrance. An exceptional variety which flowers
freely and repeats well. Very healthy. Compact, bushy growth. Good red roses are never easy to breed, so we
are particularly pleased to introduce ‘Darcey Bussell’, as we believe it is one of the best and most healthy red
roses we have bred to date. Its beautiful flowers are produced freely and with excellent continuity. When
young, their outer petals form a perfect ring around an inner cup; gradually opening out to form a perfect
rosette. The color is a deep rich crimson that takes on a tinge of mauve just before the petals drop. It has a
pleasing, fruity fragrance with hints of green. Darcey Bussell is the highly acclaimed ballerina. She was
appointed principal at the Royal Ballet at the age of 20 and has danced in the title role of many ballets around
the world. She has been honored with many awards, including the OBE in 1995. Winner of the Chauncey
Beadle Award for Best Shrub at the 213 Biltmore International Rose Trials in North Carolina, USA. Highly

Auskindling
English Rose/Shrub Rose
Exquisitely beautiful with an exceptionally long flowering season. Pretty peachy pink buds open to reveal
beautiful, pure white blooms, with an attractive hint of pink at the earliest stage of flowering. The blooms are
chalice-shaped; the incurved petals creating an arresting interplay of light and shadow. Over time, the
blooms open a little wider, just enough to catch a glimpse of the pretty stamens within. They flower over an
exceptionally long season, maintain their shape during wet weather. A lovely Old Rose and almond blossom
fragrance with hints of cucumber and lemon zest. ‘Desdemona’ forms a very healthy and most attractive neat,
rounded, bushy shrub. It is perfect for growing in a pure rose border or for combining with other shrubs and
perennials in a mixed border. Highly recommend by David Austin Roses.

Ausverse
English Rose/Shrub Rose
‘Falstaff’ bears large, shallowly cupped blooms of rich, dark crimson, which eventually turn a wonderful
shade of rich purple. They are of exquisite form and quality, packed with numerous petals which interfold at
the center. This helps to create a lovely, glowing effect within an enclosed saucer of outer petals. There is a
powerful Old Rose fragrance. It forms a substantial bushy shrub with strong, rather upright growth; the
flowers nodding nicely on the stem. The foliage is quite large and rather modern in character. It also makes
an impressive short climber. Named for the well-loved Shakespearean character, who was the faithful
companion of Prince Hal (the future Henry V).

Ausgold
English Rose/Shrub Rose
An award-winning rose with magnificent, cupped, golden yellow blooms. This is one of the largest-flowered
of all our English Roses, excelling in all climates. The rich golden yellow flowers are in the form of giant, full-
petalled cups. These are initially tea-scented but often develop a wonderful combination of Sauternes wine
and strawberry. The flowers are held beautifully poised, slightly nodding on long arching branches. The
ample foliage is large, glossy and light green, resisting disease well. ‘Golden Celebration’ is a very reliable
variety, which is easy to grow. It has excellent shapely growth, forming a nicely rounded, slightly arching
shrub. In warmer climates it can also be trained as a short climber. Named for its glorious color. Its name
makes it the perfect rose for commemorating Golden Weddings, 50th Anniversaries or any other celebration
or important event. An award-winning variety: in every way an excellent garden plant. Bred by David Austin.

Ausbrass
English Rose/Shrub Rose
This is a particularly interesting rose in that it is the first in the English Old Rose group which has apricot
flowers. These are large, about 4" across, and of a beautiful shade of rich pure apricot that pales towards the
outside of the bloom. They are of a rosette shape and very full petalled with a large button eye that gradually
opens up; the petals loosely arranged in a quartered formation. There is a particularly lovely and strong tea
fragrance which has hints of cedar wood and vanilla. 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.
Named to raise awareness for Plant Heritage and their important work to protect Britain’s garden plant
diversity. The National Collection of English Roses in the David Austin Rose Gardens are maintained in
Albrighton, Shropshire. Very healthy. Bred and highly recommended by David Austin.

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. The flowers create a spectacular
show of color and are beautifully displayed against the mid-green leaves, which have attractive, slightly
bronzed tones when young. 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. The poem tells the story
of The Lady of Shalott, who lived in a castle close to King Arthur’s Camelot and was held in a spell. Recipient
of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Highly recommended and bred by David Austin.

Petal Count: 60 petalsMunstead 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

Exceptional fragrance and ideal for pots and containers. ‘The Poet’s Wife’ is a superb rose with flowers of an
unfading, strong yellow. Their formation is most pleasing, having a neat outer ring of petals enclosing an
informal group of petals within. There is a rich fragrance with strong lemon tints at first, becoming sweeter
and stronger with age. It forms a naturally arching shrub, with rather shiny Leander-type foliage. It is perfect
for incorporating into a traditional rose border or for blending with other plants in a mixed border. Bred and

Ausmerchant
English Rose/Shrub Rose
Magnificent and unusually large flowers, deeply cupped of warm, glowing pink. There is an award-winning
fragrance of delicious fresh tea with aspects of lemon and blackcurrants. 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. Recipient of the Glasgow 29 Fragrance Award
and California’s Desert Rose Society Show’s Most Fragrant Award. Bred and highly recommended by David

Auscat
English Rose/Shrub Rose
Delicious Old Rose fragrance with hints of honey and almond blossom, which becomes much stronger in
warmer weather. Very free-flowering. A lovely sport of the beautiful ‘Mary Rose’. It shares all of the virtues of
its parent, and is similar in every way, except that the flowers are white, occasionally with the slightest touch
of buff pink at the center. The overall effect is excellent, producing a mass of flowers and continuing to bloom
at regular intervals throughout the summer. The individual blooms are in the form of medium-sized, loose-
petalled rosettes of typical Old Rose character. ‘Winchester Cathedral’ is a first class garden shrub with well-
shaped, twiggy, bushy growth and nice foliage. It looks particularly beautiful in a mixed border mingling
with other plants and perennials. It is particularly winter hardy. Named after one of the finest cathedrals in

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

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.

Very reliable, extremely healthy and easy to grow. Repeat flowers well. A very refined yellow rose of great

particularly attractive. The center petals are in the form of rich, deep yellow cups, while the outer petals
fall back and fade to palest yellow providing a most pleasing two-tone effect. There is a lovely medium to
