May be the most famous of all Austin’s, with its yellow apricot color and strong tea fragrance. Can grow to be very tall, bushy and is a “self cleaner” despite its high petal count.

Heritage

The shell pink soft color has now become synonymous with an English rose. May be the most vigorous of them all, and it is often trained as a climber in this country. The heavily petaled flowers have a strong rose fragrance with an undertone of citrus.

Mary Rose

Attractive, loose-petalled blooms with a strong rose pink coloring. The delicious Old Rose scent has hints of honey and almond blossom.

Bright crimson, deeply cupped blooms, with the outer petals eventrually reflexing back. These have a lovely Old Rose fragrance. The growth is vigorous, forming a rounded shrub which may benefit from some summer pruning.

William Shakespeare 2000       

Rich colored bloom is held on a very disease resistant, rounded shrub with excellent repeat flowering power. The blooms are a velvety crimson that change into a deep purple. With a strong old rose fragrance and dark green foliage, William is an eye catcher!

A lovely white rose, sometimes with the slightest touch of pink at the center. The overall effect is of a mass of flowers held on a bushy shrub, which blooms at regular intervals throughout the season.

The free flowering variety will continue to flower until very late in the season. Full cupped flowers are rich cream at first, fading to almost pure white.
