David Austin Roses - English Roses - Romantica Roses
The style of the roses changed in the garden world over the last few decades. There are still an overabundance of Iceberg roses planted in places where they hardly get care. But modern hybrids started looking like old fashioned roses. And there was a push for fragrance again. Many of the new English Roses developed in England by David Austin grew to extraordinary dimensions in our mild California climate. There was a white hot frenzy to put David Austin's roses in the garden. Others took notice and started developing roses too. The Romantica series of roses has many fine choices for the garden. One of the most amusing things to me is how many of these roses have Iceberg in their lineage. Iceberg has few disease issues, and is free flowering, there is a lot to appreciate. For me having roses like these brought the roses out of the rose garden and put them in the landscape mixed in with the other shrubs and perennials. The following are our experiences with these roses.
