Customer Reviews
My rose arrived today after only three days from ordering. Packaged very well. It is very healthy with blooms already open and lots more buds to come.
Now planted in the border where I am sure it will be very happy.
Received our rose today , expertly packed arriving in pristine condition .
The colour is stunning , love the mix of cream & pink & has masses of buds , it now has pride of place on the patio.
We didn’t make it to Chelsea this year , but we now have our rose to remind us of Chelsea 2025.
I bought three of the king's rose from the mainstore on release day and I couldn't be happier with it as a rose. I'm impressed that david austin has produced such a beautiful striking rose this year. I was looking for more bee friendly roses and this struck the note that I was after.
I received this rose today and couldn’t wait to open it. The delivery man had seen it on TV as I had, we both agreed how stunning it is. My daughter wants one and will have to wait for new stock! Well done David Austin roses in bringing joy into my garden.
Thank you. I couldn’t be happier to have one of these exquisite roses grown for King Charles. Such refinement. Mixed in a broad border with other David Austin pink and cream roses it creates a magical carpet of perfection
