According to the David Austin Site:

The flowers are a lovely warm pink at the centre, gradually shading to pale pink towards the edges. The blooms are very full, with the numerous petals beautifully arranged to create a neat, slightly domed flower. There is a delicious Old Rose fragrance of medium strength. It is very free from disease and repeats well.

Named after the internationally acclaimed British flautist, to celebrate his 60th birthday. James Galway delighted visitors to our display at the Chelsea Flower Show by playing his flute when this rose was released.

According to the David Austin Site:

One of the most beautiful yellow English Roses

Bears exquisite flowers of a soft yellow colour. These start off beautifully cupped, later opening out to form rosettes. Each bloom is packed with numerous small petals, arranged around a classic button eye. There is a delicious, medium-strong tea rose fragrance. It is very free-flowering and repeats well. This is one of the most beautiful English Roses and, for those with particularly cold winters, it is also one of the hardiest.

Dedicated to Charlotte, one of David Austin’s granddaughters.

According to the David Austin Site:

Pretty peachy pink buds open to reveal beautiful, pure white blooms, with an attractive hint of pink at the earliest stage of flowering. The blooms are chalice-shaped; the incurved petals creating an arresting interplay of light and shadow. Over time, the blooms open a little wider, just enough to catch a glimpse of the pretty stamens within. They flower over an exceptionally long season, maintain their shape during wet weather. A lovely Old Rose and almond blossom fragrance with hints of cucumber and lemon zest. ‘Desdemona’ forms a very healthy and most attractive neat, rounded, bushy shrub. It is perfect for growing in a pure rose border or for combining with other shrubs and perennials in a mixed border.

I assume the name comes from the character in William Shakespeare’s play Othello

According to the David Austin Site:

‘Imogen’ is an extremely healthy and floriferous rose with a natural radiance and charm. The exceedingly pretty, soft lemon blooms begin as pointed buds, which become more rounded as they open. The fully open blooms are medium-large in size and very distinctive in character, with many delicately frilled petals arranged around a classic button eye. Over time, they gradually pale to almost cream. The fragrance is light but pleasant, with hints of fresh apple.

…

The name ‘Imogen’ takes inspiration from the daughter of King Cymbeline, and virtuous wife of Posthumus, in William Shakespeare’s Cymbeline.

According to the David Austin Site:

Good red roses are never easy to breed, so we are particularly pleased to introduce ‘Darcey Bussell’, as we believe it is one of the best and most healthy red roses we have bred to date. Its beautiful flowers are produced freely and with excellent continuity. When young, their outer petals form a perfect ring around an inner cup; gradually opening out to form a perfect rosette. The colour is a deep rich crimson that takes on a tinge of mauve just before the petals drop. It has a pleasing, fruity fragrance with hints of green.

Darcey Bussell is the highly acclaimed ballerina. She was appointed principal at the Royal Ballet at the age of 20 and has danced in the title role of many ballets around the world. She has been honoured with many awards, including the OBE in 1995.
