English Roses are what we commonly call roses from the company David Austin Roses. The flowers of the roses all have a slightly old-fashioned shape, large heads and a good scent. In the Rose Garden we always prune an English rose a little higher than bouquet and large-flowered roses. We think this gives better bush growth and helps the slightly weak-growing varieties to stay neat and tall. We have collected the fragrant roses from David Austin here. He was one of the first to have flowers with the scent of the old historical fragrant roses bred in his work. The English roses can be fertilized heavily, as they are hungry. When planting an English rose in the garden, it is important that the grafting site is about 8-10cm below the ground. This way you are sure of a good wintering in the garden and large fragrant flowers for many years.
