There are scores of David Austin roses to try, and in my experience, there are few if any failures in his selections. As these are repeat flowering shrubs, one should aim at building a well-shaped bushy plant, while keeping in mind the natural height. In subsequent years, cut out weak, twiggy growth and dead or diseased wood. As the bushes age, cut out some of the older wood to its base to make way for new growth. Roses need five to six hours of direct sun each day.
Morning sun is essential, but afternoon shade is tolerated.
Good air movement helps the dew and rain dry quickly, discouraging disease. Plant on raised beds with plenty of organic matter incorporated. Avoid planting under eaves or gutters where bushes can be damaged by falling water. Plant your roses where they are easy for you to watch and enjoy. This will also keep you tuned to any insect or disease problems.
