Customer Reviews
The plant looks healthy either way buds so I am looking forward to seeing it flower
COMPLETELY DISAPOINTED WITH THIS ROSE.
LONG TWIGGY APPEARANCE
BRANCHES BROKEN OFF AS SOON AS THE WIND BLEW
FOLLOWED BY PETALS EVEN THOUGH IN SHELTERED GARDEN.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL.
I ordered and payed for 3 Kings Roses at the Chelsea Flower Show because I was gifting one to my daughter.
My two Roses were perfect but my daughters had Black spot and crispy brown leaves, plus she purchased a climber ? for herself which was also marked.
Because these were delivered to her address and email I told her to contact David Austin which she did and was told it was alright to just remove the damage and everything would be fine, which I don’t think is good enough because I wouldn’t of bought them like that in a shop.
Also on David Austin video it mentioned that the Kings Rose was disease resistant.
I have bought dozens of David Austin Roses over that last 3 yrs and feel really disappointed with the comment, which makes me think should I really carry on buying from them.
Divine, scent amazing
The rose is perfect, it was a lot of money for me to spend but 😞 think it's well worth it
