About Us - David Austin Roses

For over six decades, our family farm in Shropshire has been dedicated to cultivating the finest English roses with meticulous care and generations of expertise. What began as a passion project has blossomed into a horticultural legacy—where every rose is lovingly nurtured by hand until it’s ready to grace your garden.

Our Time-Honored Craftsmanship

Traditional Hand-Budding: Maintaining our founding techniques, each rose is expertly hand-budded by our skilled artisans—an intricate process performed millions of times annually with precision honed over generations.
Artisanal Hybridization: Through 40,000 annual cross-pollinations, we meticulously blend parent roses to create unique floral offspring, combining scientific knowledge with intuitive selection.
Discerning Selection: From seed to bloom, only roses exhibiting exceptional beauty, fragrance, and graceful form earn a place in our collection.

A Legacy of Excellence

Guided by the founding vision of David C. H. Austin—”The goal remains the same – develop the healthiest roses possible without compromising their beauty, fragrance, grace and most importantly, their charm”—our approach blends tradition with innovation. We carefully select parent roses, merging botanical science with generations of horticultural intuition to cultivate roses that embody timeless elegance.
