          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.

            Flowers don’t last long enough

            For a ‘best for flowering’ rose the flowers don’t last much more than a day, two at best before shattering. Roses aren’t cheap and should be advertised more accurately.

            Truly beautiful

            The advisor at David Austin suggested this, and I could not be more delighted. The photos do not do this rose justice...the blooms have a luminosity that is captivating, sunny and opalescent. A gentle, beautiful rose.

            Great for mixed borders

            I planted Dannahue gifted by my friend Ilona, accompanied by Cat mint and giant alliums. The result is spectacular!

            Beautiful

            I ordered my Dannahue Rose on the 23/3 and it arrived safely on 27/3, and was planted the same day. It was a good healthy plant on arrival. I did notice how prickly this one is compared to the others I have purchased from you. There were flower buds from mid April and it has been flowering well ever since. The flowers are a beautiful shape and colour and the fragrance is delightful. Thank you David Austin for your Beautiful roses and brilliant service.

            Spectacular!l

            I received Dannahue from my daughter for Mothers’ Day this year. It’s now covered in the most beautiful peachy-cream flowers with a delicious fragrance. Thoroughly recommend this one!
