Rosa 'Golden Celebration' creator David C. H. Austin
'Golden Celebration'
Austin developed 'Golden Celebration' using the apricot shrub roses, 'Charles Austin' x 'Abraham Darby'. The cultivar was introduced into the UK by David Austin Roses Limited (UK) in 1992. The rose is part of the David Austin English Rose Collection, and is one of the largest-flowered English Roses. 'Golden Celebration' was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in 2001. The rose cultivar was used to hybridize five child plants: 'Alnwick Castle' (2001), 'Crocus Rose' (2000), 'Jubilee Celebration' (2002), 'Portlandia' (2002) and 'Golden Zest' (2005).
