      Behind the name
      In 2022, David Austin was hugely impressed with an RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden called ‘Hands off Mangrove’ by not-for-profit Grow2Know. The garden was designed by Danny Clarke along with Grow2Know founder, Tayshan Hayden-Smith, and powerfully united the two prominent issues of social injustice and global deforestation. Intrigued by Danny's drive to make gardening more accessibleand inclusive this city dwelling rose was the perfect pairing to share our passion for the power of gardening and enabling roses to bloom in anylandscape.

        Frequently asked questions

        Need more help? for individual help or advice, we encourage you to contact our friendly, knowledgeable team on 01902 376300.

        Bare root roses are dormant plants and can be planted November and April.

        Potted roses are available all year round and can be planted at any time of the year.

        Aside from extreme weather, roses can be planted at any time during the year. The extreme weather conditions that we advise against planting in are when the ground is frozen, water-logged or during a drought.

        We take every care to breed, grow and deliver the best roses. If a rose fails to grow or arrives damaged, we will replace it free of charge. That’s the David Austin promise. If you would like to request a replacement or refund of a rose within the 5 year guarantee period, please complete our Returns form.
