      Behind the name
      In 2022, David Austin was hugely impressed with an RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden called ‘Hands off Mangrove’ by not-for-profit Grow2Know. The garden was designed by Danny Clarke along with Grow2Know founder, Tayshan Hayden-Smith, and powerfully united the two prominent issues of social injustice and global deforestation. Intrigued by Danny's drive to make gardening more accessibleand inclusive this city dwelling rose was the perfect pairing to share our passion for the power of gardening and enabling roses to bloom in anylandscape.
