David Austin Roses

---

Its exciting to me to learn the names of flowers and plants, training my eye and mind to bring them to remembrance.  So,  we are going to add a new flower to our repertoire.  Or, what I should say, is a whole host of flowers, namely roses, to our repertoire.  David Austin Roses are those bred out of gardens of David C.H. Austin, a British horticulturalist.  He began breeding roses at an early age and became fixed:

His objective being to create new roses in the style of old roses, thus combining the unique charm and fragrance of old roses with the wide colour range and repeat-flowering qualities of modern roses.

So, for our vernacular, we must know Mr. Austin is an esteemed Brit, having been honored by the Queen for his accomplishments in horticulture.  Further, David Austin Roses are “modern,” not “antique.”  Lastly: they are beautiful…and surely the desire of the most classic bride.
