History
[edit]David Austin roses
[edit]David C. H. Austin (1926–2018) was an award-winning rose breeder, nursery owner and writer from Shropshire, England. When he was young, he was attracted to the beauty of old garden roses, especially the Gallicas, the Centifolias and the Damasks, which were popular in nineteenth century France. Austin began breeding roses in the 1950s with the goal of creating new shrub rose varieties that would possess the best qualities of old garden roses while incorporating the long flowering characteristics of hybrid tea roses and floribundas.[3]
His first commercially successful rose cultivar was 'Constance Spry', which he introduced in 1961.[4] He created a new, informal class of roses in the 1960s, which he named "English Roses". Austin's roses are generally known today as "David Austin Roses". Austin attained international commercial success with his new rose varieties. Some of his most popular roses include 'Wife of Bath' (1969), 'Graham Thomas' (1983), 'Abraham Darby' (1985) and 'Gertrude Jekyll' (1986).[5]
'Crocus Rose'
[edit]Austin developed the cultivar from a cross between 'Golden Celebration' and an 'Unnamed seedling' in 1992. The new cultivar was introduced into the UK by David Austin Roses Limited (UK) in 2000. The cultivar was named for The Crocus Trust, a charity in the UK established to increase public awareness of colorectal cancer.[2][6]
