A Visit to David Austin Roses

So beautiful Neellen it must have been such a joy and pleasure indeed.

A lovely Birthdaŷ gift for your daughter.

Thank you Scotkat it was a brilliant day and the staff so helpful, I had questions re climbers/ramblers for my daughter's garden arbour answered, she was thrilled with her roses too :o)

Hi Neena
Happy birthday to your daughter ... lovely idea to choose the pink roses for her ... x

thanks for sharing your tour .. you've taken super photos .. do you know which plants are in the under-planting pic ?

I've added this blog to GoYpedia :o)

Beautiful blog Neena, and what a place.....those curved beds.....
the roses too are a delight, as are your photos x

Thank you TT for your kind comments and also adding this to Goypedia, I'm not certain of the underplanting names but they looked really good I thought :o)

Thank you Pam it was a delightful place to visit, spoiled for choice as at every turn there was a photo opportunity :o)

What a beautiful place,Neena..and your photo's are stunning..So glad you had a lovely day out,and no wonder your daughter loved her birthday gifts..:o) I've never been to a specialist garden centre,but I would love to go to this one..love the China crockery,but my,that coffee looked strong! Lol.xx

Oh wow, what a wonderful, Neellan. The roses of course are gorgeous and I like your choice too. (I am very tempted by Gentle Hermione every time I see it mentioned on Goy but where could I put it?) Those curved box hedges are a delight too. Lovely photos, so glad the weather turned out fine for you and that you enjoyed your day. Happy birthday to your daughter too :)

This must be heaven on earth.

What lovely gardens they are, and a great choice of roses to bring home with you too. I always admire those when the new catalogue comes. The pottery is made nearby - we visited the pottery but not the garden when we lived in Staffordshire and I have a long narrow plate from there that gets used all the time as a bread plate.

Thank you Bloomer it is a super place to visit you would love it, my daughter loves the roses and you're right my coffee did look strong - after I took the photo I added more milk lol :o)

Thank you Gee for your kind remarks, see if you can find a spot for Gentle Hermione she is as beautiful as she looks :o)

Thank you Linda it is gardener's heaven :o)

Thank you Steragram the catalogue is always a temptation isn't it, the china depicts The Generous Gardener rose :o)

Thank you for liking Marybells, Kasy Drc and Lijemc :o)

Looks a lovely place to visit. Glad you had a nice day..happy birthday to your daughter... :))

How nice to know which rose it is Neelan. My plate doesn't have a rose - some long twiney thing I don't recognise.

Thank you Holly she had a lovely birthday, heartily recommend a visit to David Austin Roses :o)

Thank you Steragram artist's imagination on your plate perhaps? :o)

Thank you for liking Samjp and Klahanie :o)

That was a lovely place to visit Neena. I'm pleased you bought Gentle Hermione. It's one of the loveliest roses I know :)

Thank you Hywel I agree with you, a beautiful rose I remember you receiving it and have loved it since and suggested it to my daughter as one of her three, she loves it too :o)

I'm full of envy Neena...! I'd love to visit David Austins Nursery... but it's a little too far from here for a day trip! Will have to just drool over the new catalogue that I picked up at Hampton Court instead!

Hi Tracey the catalogue is wonderful isn't it, a shame you are too far away for a day trip, hope you enjoyed Hampton Court - I looked for you on the tv but didn't spot you! :o)

Thank you for liking Daylily :o)
