SPOTLIGHT ON CLAIRE AUSTIN ® (Ausprior)

English Climbing Rose 12ft (3.75m) BEST FOR FRAGRANCE BEST FOR HEALTH

A classic beauty, she is serene, fragrant and decadant like sweet chantilly cream

BLOOM Highly attractive, her classic beauty lies in her pleasing pale lemon buds which gradually open to reveal medium-large, cupped, creamy white flowers. Her outer petals are arranged perfectly in concentric circles of palest cream. There is a luxuriousness to her blooms which, set against her attractive matt green foliage, make for a striking scene.

BEHIND HER NAME Named for the daughter of David Austin Senior, and sister of David Austin Junior, who runs a nursery selling hardy plants.

FRAGRANCE Her myrrh fragrance is elegant and robust. Strong and pleasantly sweet, it features dashes of meadowsweet, vanilla and heliotrope which will delight as you pass her by.

HOW TO USE HER Her growth is strong and particularly healthy; she makes for a wonderful welcome when grown next to a front door. The creamy white blooms may be simple, but they have a certain glamour which adds an element of romance when grown up a wall, fence, obelisk or pillar. Not one to disappoint, she will tolerate shadier areas of the garden equally well.

FEATURED ROSE Emily Brontë® (Ausearnshaw) English Shrub Rose 4ft (125cm) 3½ft (110cm)

Distinctive, neat flat blooms of a lovely soft pink dashed with apricot at the centre. The petals quickly fade to cream, and there is a strong Tea scent with hints of lemon and grapefruit.
