This is the rose they are featuring this year. Scepter'd Isle.
My favorite garden catalog arrived yesterday. It is the David Austin Handbook of Roses for 2009. It is the tenth collection for the USA. 107 pages to delight you. What a beautiful work of art. I don't have many roses in my yard, but if I were better at growing them...I would have a hard time deciding which to buy. The pictures are so beautiful...each page a different rose. Wonderful growing tips, ways of using roses in your landscape, pruning tips, rose food, etc. The catalog is printed on wonderful paper...you could almost frame the pictures. I ordered a rose from the catalog last year and was pleased with the way it arrived. It was in excellent condition and there were great directions for a novice. If you want to sit down with a cup of tea...during a snowstorm ... and dream of summer ...maybe you would like to order this free handbook of roses. Here is the address. http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/Advanced.asp
