Our Christmas Gift Guide 2021
Gift Sustainably This Festive Season with David Austin Roses
It’s that special time of year when we look to treat our nearest and dearest, showing them how much they mean to us with festive tokens of appreciation and celebration. While not typically associated with Christmas, garden roses have always made special gifts and we believe this time of year is perfect for giving one of our traditionally grown varieties.
GREENER GIFTING
Looking for a gift that is truly unique? How about a David Austin bare root rose that is freshly harvested from our fields still using many traditional methods? UK grown, our bare root roses are seasonal and can be planted from October through to April making it the perfect rose to gift at this time of year. Delivered in plastic free packaging, it also means you're able to grow greener, gifting not only your recipient, but the planet too.
GIFTS THEY'LL LOVE
A Rose for Every Personality
For the Bookworm
One of our most popular literary named roses, Gabriel Oak (Auscrowd), named after the beloved character in Thomas Hardy's 'Far From The Madding Crowd' is perfect for the prolific reader in your life.
For the Happy Couple
Nothing says blissful happiness like the beauty of The Poet's Wife (Auswhirl). A most pleasing formation of neat outer ring petals in a joyous yellow, which can be celebrated year after year.
For the Budding Gardener
Named after the granddaughter of David Austin Snr, Olivia Rose Austin (Ausmixture) is the ideal choice for the newly inspired gardener. Incredibly healthy, she is the perfect rose to kick start their collection.
For the Sociable Stand Out
For the one who stands out from the crowd, get them a rose that does exactly the same. Lady of Shalott (Ausnyson) has rich orange-red buds that open to impressive chalice-shaped blooms. A charming crowd pleaser.
For the Nature Enthusiast
There is nothing like Kew Gardens (Ausfence) to attract a bit of wildlife into your nature lover's garden. Its small, single white flowers are the perfect poising place for bees and insects alike.
For the Timelessly Stylish
The perfect rose for the most stylish person in your life has got to be the timelessly classic Desdemona (Auskindling). White, chalice-shaped blooms, outlined with a pinkish hue forms an attractive, neat and rounded shrub.
