• David C. H. Austin (1926-2018) may be seen as the Father of English Roses, but David was also a family-oriented man.  Even as his business expanded, he stayed close to his Shropshire roots, living with his family on the farm.  In 1990 he was joined by his son David Junior.  Together they developed David Austin Roses into a worldwide business with offices in Europe, Japan, and the USA, all while establishing a thriving cut roses business for wedding and events.  More recently two of his grandsons joined the fold and David Austin Roses remains a family business today.” --- “Discover More About David Austin” at www.davidaustinroses.com
