Royally brighten up your garden with our new varieties

This year we feel privileged to introduce two wonderful new varieties to our collection: Elizabeth (Ausmajesty), named in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest serving monarch, and Bring Me Sunshine (Ausernie), which pays homage to the great comedy duo, Morecambe and Wise.

Elizabeth

(Ausmajesty) English Shrub Rose bred by David Austin

Elizabeth is an exceptional rose of true majesty and grace with generous blossom-like blooms held in clusters of plentiful, flat rosettes, which gently change from crisp apple blossom pink to the gentlest blush. Her fragrance is strong, sweet and delightfully refreshing with notes of lemon sherbert and Old Rose.

Behind his name

This well-loved song was first recorded by The Mills Brothers in 1968, before it was adopted by the effervescent comedy duo, Morecambe and Wise for their second BBC series in 1969. It felt only natural to name such a vivacious rose after such a heart-warming tune. Described as the most illustrious and best-loved double act that Britain has ever produced, Morecambe and Wise started as a song and dance comedic team and went on to star in various films, television series and on chat shows.
