                          Incredible David Austin and his English roses.

I suppose many  people  know the name of the legendary breeder who gave us the incomparable English garden roses.

His name is David Austin.

In England, the talented gardeners are called  the Green Fingers.

David Austin was born  in 1926 in to a family of farmers and from early childhood he began to help his parents with the housework, worked hard and could earn his living as a child. At that time the life of farmers was far from easy and it was difficult to earn money. This is probably why when David at the age of 14 decided to grow roses.

And of course,  no one of the Austin family had any idea that one day the hobby of growing roses would become a serious business of David's life and grow into a full-fledged business. No one would have thought that a passionate breeder would be able to achieve great success, and the Queen herself would choose flowers in his nursery.

    

David Austin's Rose Garden is located three hundred kilometers from London, on the outskirts of the charming small town of Albrighton. Every year, David Austin's nursery attracts flower growers from all over the world, many traveling thousands of miles to visit the homeland of English roses. There are more than 700 varieties of roses in the garden, in fact, this is not one, but four gardens, each of which is designed in a certain style.

The Long Garden, or The Long Garden, is the largest of the four. In the plan, these are three longitudinal paths with paired borders, separated by rustic, emphasized rough wooden pergolas and a network of transverse paths. The central walkway is made of bricks, finished with cobblestones, and ends at the sculpture of three dancing girls. On both sides of it there are long narrow borders with old and English roses, as well as some scrubs and ground cover roses. The other two paths are made of grass, they are also surrounded by paired borders. A focal point is located at the end of each track. It can be either a view of the next garden or a sculpture. The flower beds are edged with low trimmed yew borders. Around the sculpture of dancing girls at the end of the garden is a beautiful round pergola along the perimeter.

Turning left, we find ourselves in the Victorian Garden or Victorian Garden. It is a garden round in shape, consisting of three concentric borders, the outer one is the widest, and the inner ones taper towards the center. Each border, as if by the spokes of a wheel, is divided by grass paths converging in the center, where there is a sculpture of a woman with a bouquet of roses. The garden is surrounded by a sheared hedge along the perimeter. The garden is an example of classic modern regular design.

Returning to The Long Garden and reaching the previous turn, we find ourselves in the Renaissance Garden, or Renaissance Garden, which we have already glimpsed. This is perhaps the most luxurious garden of the four, a kind of visiting card, a work of art, as Austin himself proudly calls it. Like The long Garden, the garden is divided into three sections. Entering the garden, we see a long rectangular reservoir resembling a canal, about one and a half meters wide, with a wide stone edging, lined with English roses, reflecting in the water. At the far end of the reservoir is a dolphin sculpture. Behind him is a stone "loggia", something like a summer terrace, from which you can enjoy a beautiful view. Behind the roses by the pool, on both sides, there are wide paths of grass, edged with "serpentine" borders with unusual, winding edges. The edges are accentuated by sheared boxwood. At the end of each path, there is a sculpture facing the loggia. In each "bend" of the border, one variety of English rose grows. For these boarders, low varieties were selected, which are cut quite low here. This planting allows visitors to evaluate the varieties and choose the one suitable for their garden. The columns of the loggia are entwined with tall varieties of English roses.

Behind the serpentine boarders is a low clipped hedge, behind which you can see the "outer" part of the garden. This is a completely different landing plan, more free and informal. Roses are planted in large tracts, with a winding grass path passing through them, so that it seems that you are surrounded by a sea of ​​roses. The photo of this particular part of the garden is usually associated with the garden of David Austin. / This type of garden is probably the most famous. / On the other side of the loggia, behind the same hedge, there is a long pergola with climbing and English roses.

In 1990, David invited his eldest son, David J. Austin, to his business. Together    they founded the world famous brand David Austin Roses Ltd

David Austin is an ingenious breeder and will forever be remembered as one of the most famous not only in Great Britain, but throughout the world, and the very concept of "English roses" has long been associated with his name, which has become a real brand.
