    Not quite sure how I found this thread (so late as well). I'm researching for a presentation about Austin roses and ended up here?
    What Francine Austin did was inexcusable and she may well have escaped a deserved prison sentence. However I feel that I should point out that Francine is the former wife of David Austin junior and not the David Austin who founded the company. David senior's wife was Pat Austin who, whilst founding the company with her husband was also an accomplished sculptress and artist in her own right. She died in 2008 and I'm sure like all of us would have been appalled at the behaviour of her former daughter-in-law. Just thought that I should clarify things.
