David Austin Wedding Roses

Our story is of discovery and innovation, starting simply as a hobby in the 1940s it has flourished to being at the forefront of rose design and expert craftsmanship. In the early 1950s David Austin set out to create a more beautiful rose. Seventy years on, this simple objective remains, both in the creation of roses for the garden and our cut rose collection for floristry. Rose breeding is often described as being as much an art as a science but above all, David Austin’s roses have a collective style. Each rose can take up to 10 years in development before being introduced. Our cut roses share the same breeding heritage and exceptional quality as our garden roses. However, they have been created specifically for floristry with long, straight stems and large blooms that perform magnificently in arrangements and bouquets. Our cut roses are grown in greenhouses, which means unlike garden roses, they are in flower all year round. The particular characteristics that make each of our roses unique and instantly recognisable are no accident. The shape, colour, and scent are all considered with an obsessive attention to detail. Only the very best will receive the David Austin hallmark and be included within our collection.
