AUScrim

A great colour, good winter hardiness. Pity this rose doesn't get bigger.

I have this rose in a pot and I know hardly any rose with such big, ball-shaped blooms that also keeps its intense colour right up to fading. On top of that, it is rainproof and smells good. Area: Rhineland-Palatinate.

This rose was my first English rose ever, and since it was supposed to grow in a container (unfortunately I don't have a garden), I was a bit unsure whether that would work.
Six years have passed by now, and every year it blooms more than lavishly and also repeat-flowers very well, around the end of August. I can't say what its greatest asset is; the uniquely beautiful colour, which for me varies between crimson when opening and dark burgundy until the petals drop, or its absolutely stunning fragrance ...
It stands on a south-west balcony with sun from about 2 pm until sunset and, especially this year, has endured the strong sun and heat without losses.
I prune it back like a bedding rose, but every summer it grows to about 1 m in height.

Die Rose hat ihren ersten Winter gut überstanden und zeigt trotz häufigen Regens traumhaft langlebige, riesige duftende Blüten.

Ich habe diese Rose seit ca. 3 Jahren im Garten stehen und kann auch nur Gutes berichten. Sie früh und zuverlässig mit riesigen Blüten, die auch bei starker Sonneneinstrahlung ihre rote Farbe behalten. Ihr Duft ist angenehm. Ein Schmuckstück für jeden Garten.

Ich habe diese Rose vor etlichen Jahren auf eine sonnige Stelle im Garten gepflanzt. Sie mickert vor sich hin. Wenn sie mal eine Blüte bekommt, so ist diese wunderschön, allerdings ohne Duft. Bis jetzt die schlechteste englische Rose in meinem Garten.

I bought it last autumn as a container plant. None of my English roses has such a huge and beautiful flower, opening dome-shaped. It also smells very pleasant. So far my most beautiful English rose, only a pity that it doesn't get taller.

Ich habe diese Rose mit sehr viel Bedenken auf einer windigen Dachterasse in Berlin im Kübel gepflanzt und war begeistert: traumhafte Blüten (zweimal im Jahr), gesundes Laub, stabiler Wuchs (wegen des Windes wichtig).Und das alles 4 Jahre lang. Es war meine absolute Lieblingsrose. Um so größer ist meine Trauer jetzt, da sie den letzten harten Winter nicht überstanden hat. Ich werde es aber noch einmal mit dieser Sorte probieren, in der Hoffnung, dass Winter wie der letzte eine Ausnahme bleiben.

A highly praised variety from the house of David Austin. Described as the most beautiful red English rose, which is why I bought it 4 years ago, nurtured and pampered it, gave it a huge pot as its "home", good rose soil ... but it is growing disappointingly for me. Sparse growth, a few single red flowers, very susceptible to black spot, hardly any fragrance .. I already suspected they had sold me the wrong rose - but the flowers show beyond doubt that it really is the one. Unlike William Shakespeare, which is still blooming lushly now in November and defies all the adversities of the Sauerland, she is an English lady with flaws. This year I want to cut her back, replace the soil and give her another chance.

My specimen has stood in a very sunny spot for 5 years and has a vitality that can't be described. For the first two years it grew hesitantly, then came the "explosion". If I let it grow, it would almost be a climbing rose. It blooms very lushly, repeat-flowers excellently and also withstands the heat well. I can highly recommend it as a shrub rose. But it needs enough space.

AUScrim really does have beautiful flowers and mine smells good too. But she is on very friendly terms with black spot. As a result she lost almost all her leaves, and the fat flowers on the end of a bare stem looked like artificial giant lollipops. Hopefully next summer will be less rainy and then she will hopefully develop more lushly.

In the summer, in a thoughtless move, I bought and planted three English David Austin roses.

Since I certainly didn't go about it very skilfully and sensitively, I had initially feared that all three would die... In the meantime, however, they have settled in well and are putting out buds. She, though, who looked the puniest at the start, is now blooming and smelling like crazy and has long since overtaken the other two in size and fullness.

This will certainly not be my last specimen after such a fabulous entrance!
