David Austin has passed away. A great plantsman unsurpassed in the cultivation of roses which many of us have in our gardens and he always championed fragrance over just nice looking blooms.
I Hope his son will carry on as his father before him.
Oh ! That is such sad news ...a real gentleman ...oh and to think how devoted he has been to our most loved flower , the rose ...... and all the wonderful and fragrant roses he created to make the world a more beautiful place . He will be sadly missed . His family will be in my thoughts and prayers . Debbie
Sorry to hear this.
He was a true master of his craft.
We have several of his roses. My favourite "The generous gardener".
Indeed sad news. I love my Winchester Cathedral rose and its rich fragrance. And there are so many many roses that he created. RIP and thank you.
