Grow the Best Roses with David Austin Roses!
David Austin Roses are known for their unbelievably large flowers and their heavenly fragrances. They are among the best roses in the World. They bloom repeatedly throughout the summer producing a beautiful range of colours.
Also known as English Roses the David Austin roses are a highly versatile group of roses which thrive in very different climactic conditions. They are widely grown in almost every rose growing nation in the world, including America, Canada, Australia, Japan, Europe and even areas of Russia.
David Austin Roses are also very hardy roses. If you have not grown English Roses before and live in zones 4-5 or 9-10, you might like to begin with David Austin roses. English Roses can be found in rose gardens across Canada and there is no substitute for seeing (and smelling) English Roses growing in your area.
Almost all of the English Roses we carry are rated as hardy, which means that they can be grown successfully in zone 5. Our ratings are intended as a guide. You may still require winter protection in challenging microclimates or in periods of unusually extreme or extended cold.
