Renowned author, photographer and rosarian Bill Grant has filled his all organic garden with healthy roses. Intermixed with them are Australian plants for winter color.

He is delighted to extend his collection with the David Austin roses that offer disease resistant robust plants with attractive fragrance.

David Austin introduced a brand new class in roses in 1969.

By hybridizing already existing hybrids with old world species of typically English roses, he has developed an ever expanding collection of high performing roses.

David Austin aimes to create the appealing forms of older species with the hardiness of modern hybrids, maintaining and enhancing their fragrance and increasing the color range.
