| 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. |

There are so many out there I only have the one *Mary Rose*  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..  I would love to grow Jude the Obscure a beige buff kind of colour and Pat Austin which is orange.. I would love to see the two new ones for 2007 Summer song and Windermere its so hard to make up your mind with so many to choose from do have a look at the link below..MM |

| 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. Sue |

| Thank you all, I am going to look them all up now. Nemo |

| Hi Mistymorn, I don't know if you are interested however Bunnings at Staford have both Jude the Obscure Pat Austin plus many many more DA at $6.98 each. Tacca |

| Hi Thanks for that I will go look at our Browns Plains store.. |
|
| 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 |
