Some early blossoms of David Austin roses from my garden, rescued from a torrential rainstorm. English Roses are so fragrant!
RIP, David Austin
I devoted today’s “Fragrance Friday” on my other blog to David Austin, OBE, creator of the English Roses, about which I have written before: Fragrance Friday: David Austin Roses. I just got the latest catalogue in the mail, with its usual tempting array of spectacular roses old and new.
Do you grow any of his beautiful roses? Which ones?
