Notes:
  • “Crown Princess Margareta (1882-1920) was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria and an accomplished landscape gardener and artist. With her husband, King Gustavus VI Adolfus of Sweden, she created the beautiful gardens at their Summer Palace, Sofiero Castle in Helsingborg, Sweden.”--- “Crown Princess Margareta” at www.davidaustinroses.com

  • “David C. H. Austin (1926-2018) created his first rose, ‘Constance Spry’, in 1961.  Industry professionals said nobody would buy these ‘old fashioned roses,’ so he ignored his detractors and sold his roses to the public himself, using his own kitchen table in Shropshire as his distribution center.  By 1969 David had refined the breeding process and launched his first range of repeat-flowering ‘English Roses’, the name he coined for his ground-breaking varieties that fused the old with the new. ---  “Discover More About David Austin” at www.davidaustinroses.com
