Buy 10th Wedding Anniversary Gifts with David Austin


A David Austin rose offers a gift of lasting significance. Carefully bred for their beauty, fragrance and performance, our roses are designed to bring joy not just in the moment, but for many seasons to come.

Unlike traditional gifts, a rose continues to grow and evolve, mirroring the journey of a long-lasting relationship. Each year, as it comes into bloom, it offers a quiet reminder of your tenth anniversary and the years you’ve shared.

Roses are also deeply symbolic. They represent love, appreciation and admiration, making them especially fitting for such a meaningful occasion. Softer tones convey grace and gratitude, while richer colours can express passion and enduring affection. With many varieties offering a beautiful fragrance, they engage the senses as well as the heart.

Whether given as a surprise or chosen together, a rose is a gift that feels considered, personal and enduring, perfect for celebrating ten years of marriage.

The traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper, symbolising the fresh, blank pages of a new life together, delicate yet full of potential, just like the early days of a marriage.

While paper is the traditional gift for a 1st wedding anniversary, a rose makes a wonderfully fitting and enduring alternative. Like a new marriage, a freshly planted rose is just beginning its journey, growing more beautiful and established with every passing year. Roses have been a symbol of love and romance for centuries, and where a paper gift may be fleeting, a garden rose will return season after season as a living reminder of a very special first anniversary.

The first wedding anniversary is traditionally associated with new beginnings, and the colours that best capture that sentiment are yellow, peach, white and pink. Yellow roses represent joy and the happiness of that first year together, while peach and coral tones convey the warmth and excitement of a new chapter. White roses can symbolise a pure, blossoming love, whereas soft pink speaks to the gentle romance of a first year of marriage. Any of these shades makes a wonderfully fitting choice for such a happy milestone.

Many varieties thrive beautifully in pots and containers, making them a perfect gift for those with a patio, terrace, or balcony. As long as there is a sunny spot outdoors, a container-grown rose will flourish and bring colour and fragrance year after year. It's a thoughtful gift whatever the size of the recipient's outdoor space.

Our potted roses can be planted all year round, making them an ideal gift for an anniversary at any time of year. We also offer a bare root option for those who prefer it, available from November to March, a traditional way to grow roses that establish beautifully over the winter months.



With some due care and attention, a rose will reward you for many years to come. It is a gift that keeps giving making it perfect for a 1st wedding anniversary gift.
