Pictures Of Rose Bouquets Biography
English roses is a term used for roses bred by David Austin, in Shropshire, England. He called them English Roses, as the name seemed to symbolize roses. Roses are one of the most loved flowers in England, voted several times as a favorite flower at the Chelsea Flower show. English roses are loved for their beautiful rosettes or cupped flower forms and fragrance. The Tudor rose was a symbol of English dominance for over a hundred years.
David Austin is a breeder that decades ago, inspired by a copy of a book by George Bunyard on antique roses, decided to start breeding his own rose varieties, to combine the best of the old roses with the best of the modern ones. His first English rose, or Austin rose, was Constance Spry, in 1963, which got its name after the renowned flower arranger and cook.
David Austin's Book On English Roses
When I moved house, several years ago, one of the casualties was my box of rose books. What happened to them, I have no idea. All I know, is that when I unpacked at my new place, the box was gone. Probably 50 books in total, some of them older collectors items: you can guess how I was feeling.
One of those books was David Austin's book, "The English Roses". This was probably one of the most read books in my collection, full of the most beautiful photographs, and rose stories. If English roses are one of your favorite varieties, then you really should have this book.
