Hugh Dickson
Old Rose
A once extremely popular rose. It bears large, globular flowers of scarlet-crimson, although they are rather lacking in character. There is a strong fragrance and it repeats well. With its tall, lanky growth it is perhaps better grown as a climber. Dickson, 1865.

Old Rose
The brightest, light crimson blooms of all the English Roses. The petals are loosely arranged to form beautiful, large, slightly cupped blooms that open wide and flat. It forms a bushy, rather spreading shrub. David Austin, 1988.

Frequently asked questions

Need more help? for individual help or advice, we encourage you to contact our friendly, knowledgeable team on 01902 376300.

Bare root roses are dormant plants and can be planted November and April.

Potted roses are available all year round and can be planted at any time of the year.

Aside from extreme weather, roses can be planted at any time during the year. The extreme weather conditions that we advise against planting in are when the ground is frozen, water-logged or during a drought.

We take every care to breed, grow and deliver the best roses. If a rose fails to grow or arrives damaged, we will replace it free of charge. That’s the David Austin promise. If you would like to request a replacement or refund of a rose within the 5 year guarantee period, please complete our Returns form.
