    Here is a photo of David Austin Rose we cut to bring indoors i am showing a plate behind the rose for you to see how big the rose is, and it is not a small plate and the smell is beautiful well worth buying David Auste Roses.

    Crikey. I can see by the scale of the hand that is one large flower.

    I don't know why folk get so excited about David Austin roses?

    Very expensive IMHO, and lots of other rose produces in the UK who have excellent stock.

    Our bed of roses are the picture of health (even though fairly neglected be me this year!) - they came from Cants in Colchester [because they were local so it was easy to drive there and look at their show plot]

    Hi Kristen I think folk as you put it get so excited over the blooms and not for Mr Austin,s Name :wink:,This particular rose is as every Rose in my Eyes (but then I.m biased as you know):) absolutely stunning,We all have our own favourite retailer in many areas in many different things and for many reasons,I too sometimes think that Mr Austin,s Roses are a little on the expensive side,but if i liked a particular Rose that Only he sold then I would purchase it from him:thumb::)

    "This particular rose is as every Rose in my Eyes (but then I.m biased as you know)[​IMG] absolutely stunning"

    Absolutely agree. However, the thread title is "David Austin Rose".

    On second thoughts, maybe that is its variety name? In which case I'll have one please!

    There are plenty of cheaper roses out there i have some myself and they also have a high scent but David Austin Roses have to be up there with the very best of them as some stated they are a bit more expensive however they are worth it.

    ie Lollipop i dont remember the actual name of the rose i shall try and find out for you.

    Hi golfer. I'm a little confused now. I just visited D/A's website, and there's no record of 'Colour Me Pink'. :scratch:
