I planted roses for the first time last year and I am hooked. When members refere to DA's,do they mean David Austin roses. Could someone recommend their favourite, as I would like to grow one.

That white you see on the leaves is diluted milk helps to keep Black Spot away as Brisbane is the BS Capital of OZ.
Here is another pic taken on a different day the blooms are more open..

Currently I only have DA's "Heritage". She's a beauty. I got her this year in Jan - and she's still flowering - it's Autumn - no sign of pests or diseases.

I would recommend her as a beginner's rose. In the past, I had Grahma Thomas and Teasing Georgia - but I had trouble growing them.

Heritage loves seasoil - mix it with water, and the result is outstanding!

Some of us use DA as shorthand to avoid calling them English roses. DA is not the only Englishman to breed lovely roses.
My favourite is Winchester Cathedral, a tireless bloomer. Golden Celebration is another hard working rose, repeats beautiful blooms with astonishing speed. Gertrude Jekyll is wonderful, Prospero flowers almost continually, as do Sophy's Rose and Lillian Austin.
I find the "old" DAs more satisfactory than the new.

Hi Mistymorn,

RE: David Austin

I bought the JTO, Pat Austin and Graham Thomas your price is wrong though the DA were $12.95 each at the Springwood store.

Thanks again Mary-Anne
