The English Roses cover

David Austin Roses is one of the world's leading rose nurseries. The English Roses developed there have brought the rose to a new level of beauty and strength; their ability to flower continually throughout the summer and autumn makes them one of the most durable garden flowers.

In this revised and updated edition, David Austin describes how he combines the beauty and fragrance of the Old Roses with the repeat-flowering and wide colour range of the Modern Roses. David presents seven groups of classification for his roses and advises how to grow and maintain them.

Featuring more than 20 new rose varieties, all with detailed descriptions and updated photography throughout, this third revised edition of The English Roses is an essential reference for all rose lovers and gardeners.

There are a couple of months to go before rose season, but this sumptuous updated edition showing off the long-flowering, highly scented varieties that Austin has been breeding for more than 60 years, will make you long for summer. * The Sunday Times *
Iconic rose breeder David Austin wrote many regard as the definitive work on English roses, which has now been revised and updated. Sumptuously indulgent photography captures the delicate beauty and charm of different rose varieties, with fascinating details about their history, fragrances, cultivation and breeding. * The English Home *
