David Austin's English cut roses represent a new breed
David Austin’s English cut roses represent a new breed. They have taken 14 years to create, and are based on David Austin’s English garden varieties, adored by gardeners worldwide for their fragrances and Old Rose charm.
It has taken more than a decade to marry their beauty and scent with the vase life and year-round availability of modern cut roses.
Each and every rose opens gradually to reveal spectacular full-petalled blooms and delicate fragrances and their romantic charm makes them the absolute must-have flowers for weddings.
David Austin’s cut roses won Gold at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show and have been extensively reviewed and photographed by the wedding magazines over the past year, such that brides are asking their florists for David Austin’s cut roses by name.
Their three varieties include Juliet, Rosalind and Miranda – all names which are based on Shakespearean characters.
Rosalind has very full petalled flowers of blush pink with the faintest hint of lilac, and has a large button eye in the centre. Rosalind has a delightfully sweet, fruity fragrance.
Miranda has very impressive, full petalled blooms of pure pink, the closeness of the petals causing the intensity of colour to vary from very pale to very deep. The flowers start deeply cupped with green outer petals, which become hidden as the rose opens fully to a wide shallow cup. Miranda has a delicate fruity fragrance.
Juliet’s large creamy-apricot blooms hold their petals in a perfect rosette, the colour gradually softening with time. Juliet has a light Tea fragrance.
