      My favourite English rose is Olivia Rose Austin®. It sits very proudly in a border at the front of my home. Bursting into bloom earlier, it sets a statement of beauty for the rest of my roses in the border to follow for the rest of the season.

        Black spot

        Suffers terrible black spot. Planted in large container in full sun so it’s possibly stressed. In third year will be feeding throughout summer more often to see if helps although there’s no suggestion for this on the David Austin website. Perhaps there should be.

        This rose is my absolute favourite! I just adore the smell and the fact that it it flowers again and again with big rather beautiful intricate blooms. In fact I love it so much I have two of them in my garden.

        Cupped flower, glossy leaves

        The Olivia has beautiful dark green glossy leaves and delicate almost translucent pink petals forming a cupped shape. The scent is delicate, sometimes only fragrant on a warm summers day. We have found that the Olivia is a delicate rose bush, she has yet to find her vigor, at 3 years old she is still flimsy and her stems too weak to hold a full bush shape. This year again we.have pruned her well, wedding out any canes less than a pencil thickness in hope of new vigor. Our emily bronze, eustacia vye and Lichfield angel have flourished more so than Olivia. I'm still really hoping for a beautiful Olivia hedge.
