David Austin Roses New Introductions: Chelsea Flower Show







David Austin Rose Gardens

Albrighton, Wolverhampton,

England.








'Wollerton Old Hall'
A new rose named for a beautifully designed & planted Arts & Crafts-style English garden, a favorite of mine.
Do visit should you be traveling round Shropshire.

These brilliant new rose varieties were introduced by David Austin Roses at the Chelsea Flower Show 2011.
I'll admit to being more than partial to Austin's 'English Roses' .. with their lovely flower forms and heady fragrances.

  8. Ahhh, I'll take one of each! We've had trouble with them in our zone in the past.... trying them this year again, and hoping that some careful mulching makes all the difference!
