David Austin Roses Garden Centre

...the wall, I ordered the David Austin catalogue. It arrived within a couple of days and was one of the most beautiful catalogues I've ever seen. I'd ordered several other rose catalogues too and whereas the majority were equally as informative as far as roses go, none of the jumped out and grabbed me the way David Austin's did. After reading the whole thing from cover to cover, I felt I was in a far better position to make a decision. There were ...
...you'll learn a little able David Austin himself. From here you can search for roses, order the free catalogue, find information related to choosing and cultivating roses, see the photo gallery and various other bits and pieces. During my search for the perfect rose, I did find another company, Peter Beale's Roses, to have a better website, especially as you could search by height which saved me having to click on each climber to see whether it would ...

Review of David Austin Roses Garden Centre

...this got to do with David Austin Roses.... Well, I just needed to set the scene and what I'm trying (not very successfully, says Mrs D, so I'll speed up a bit) to tell you is that we had a virtually virgin wasteland at the back upon which we could paint a wonderful canvas of a garden and I could get it exactly how I wanted and I'd always lusted after a really big rose bed with all my heart (what a sad fellow!) When I was planning out my garden, I ...

I ordered most of the plants I needed from David Austin and they duly arrived more or less exactly the week that they had led me to believe in the late Autumn and they were of a particularly high calibre, with some splendid Old English style roses, like Gertrude Jekyll and Graham Thomas, and I was absolutely delighted. They all worked out splendidly and ...

Review of David Austin Roses Garden Centre

...One such specialist place is David Austin Roses, it is about 8 miles West of Wolverhampton, in the town of Albrighton. They specialise in Shrub and Old Fashioned Roses, Hybrid Tea Roses and Floribunda’s, and stock a wide variety of Ramblers and Climbers, even Wild Roses and their Hybrids. Last but definitely not least they are breeders of new roses. I have visited the place often, and purchased a few roses myself, and I have been more than ...
...you are buying. David Austin Roses must have hundreds of varieties growing there, they have a group of rose gardens in which they display the many roses, and in summer the gardens are full of colour and scent. The gardens are laid out beautifully and there are sculptures made by Mrs Pat Austin, which add to the charm of the place. I must mention the fact that there is also an herbaceous garden, and that there is a good collection of hardy Geraniums, ...

...been lucky enough to visit David Austin Roses you will know straight away that words arent enough to describe the experience.Try to think of summer days,birds singing and the scent of light rain on a summers day,now multiply this by all of your happiest memories and thats what a visit to Austins is like.Hmm I hear you saying,well that was a visit on a beautiful summers day,so purely in the interests of research(and a piece of excellent cake) I also ...
...I left,and did buy something from the shop! Situated near to the lovely village of Albrighton the first thing that hits you is the smell and the peacefulness of the setting,if you're used to garden centres on outlet sites this isnt for you. The smell is out of this world and the range of roses available is unbelievable. The staff are very well informed and give out information and help in a friendly way,they obviously have pride in their product. ...
