NEW The Winter Gardener’s Gift Box - gardening through the seasons

There’s a quiet magic in the winter garden. Frost glistens on the ground, and robins flit between branches, pecking at rose hips after the blooms of summer pass. The air is crisp, and the gardener of all seasons knows now is the time to plant bare root roses and bulbs, cut back perennials and harvest winter veg, amongst other winter gardening tasks.

The new David Austin ® Winter Gardener’s Gift Box brings together our favourite essentials for tending to the garden at this time of year. Inside, there’s a voucher for a rose of the recipient's choice and a guide to taking care of roses throughout the winter months. There’s also a snug David Austin® Hat alongside a charming David Austin® Enamel Mug, both to keep in the warmth whilst outside.. To care for the winter gardener’s hardworking hands, the soothing Filberts Gardeners Hand Salve offers comfort and protection.

Whether it’s a Christmas gift, a present for a special celebration or just a treat for yourself, the Winter Gardener’s gift box gives a rose to bloom for years to come with the added luxury of winter essentials for the recipient. The packaging, reflects our commitment to sustainability, with the box being perfect for storing seeds or garden notes, the wood wool stuffing serves as the perfect nesting material for birds in the spring too.

“I couldn’t be without my winter beanie hat and a good, strong mug of English tea whilst in the David Austin gardens in Winter. As the roses move into dormancy, and the beautiful rose hips pepper the branches that are losing their leaves, we’re focussing on planting in bare root roses and mulching around the base of the plants to keep in the warmth and suppress the weeds; it also helps avoid any wind rock too. We advise leaving pruning until the roses are in a dormant state in January or February, but now is the opportune time to nip back any flailing long growth that’s not in keeping with the shape of the plant.”

Alex, Gardener at the award-winning David Austin Rose Gardens in Albrighton, Shropshire.
