According to the David Austin Site:

Bears medium-sized, cupped blooms of an unusually rich, pure yellow. There is a light Tea fragrance, with a cool violet character. It forms a bushy, upright and vigorous shrub, with attractive, smooth green foliage. David Austin, 1983.

…

Named for the British horticulturist who was one of the most influential gardeners of his time. Graham Thomas was a frequent visitor to our nursery and offered encouragement and advice. He chose this rose himself. He gathered a collection of Old Roses, which formed the basis of the National Collection at Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire.

According to the David Austin Site:

Deeply cupped flowers, filled with crisp, upstanding, fuchsia petals. The fruity rose fragrance has hints of raspberry, peach and mint. A well-rounded, mounded shrub, its flowers nicely poised on its branches. Named after Thomas Fairchild, who made the first recorded flower hybrid. David Austin, 2003.

…

Named after Thomas Fairchild, who made the first recorded flower hybrid in 1720. This was a cross between a Sweet William and a carnation, which became known as ‘Fairchild’s mule’. With thanks to Michael Leapman for the name, which was the title of his excellent biography on Thomas Fairchild.

According to the David Austin Site:

‘Brother Cadfael’ bears very large, globular, clear pink flowers, reminiscent of peonies. Despite their size, they are never clumsy and are held nicely upright on the plant. There is a particularly strong and rich Old Rose fragrance, similar to some of the Old Bourbon Roses.

…
This rose was named after the hero of the Ellis Peters detective stories, which are set in Shropshire where our nursery is located.

According to the David Austin Site:

This is one of the largest-flowered of all our English Roses, excelling in all climates. The rich golden yellow flowers are in the form of giant, full-petalled cups. These are initially tea-scented but often develop a wonderful combination of Sauternes wine and strawberry. The flowers are held beautifully poised, slightly nodding on long arching branches. The ample foliage is large, glossy and light green, resisting disease well.

…

Named for its glorious colour. Its name makes it the perfect rose for commemorating Golden Weddings, 50th Anniversaries or any other celebration or important event.

According to the David Austin Site:

‘Princess Anne’ is an exciting new development from an entirely new line in breeding. Whilst it retains the classic full-petalled flowers of an English Rose, its overall character is very different from any other rose we know giving it its own very special beauty. The young flowers are deep pink, almost red, gradually fading to a pure deep pink as the blooms mature. The petals are rather narrow and unusually substantial with a pleasing hint of yellow on their undersides. The flowers are produced over a long period and held in large clusters; the individual blooms opening in succession. There is a medium-strong tea rose fragrance. Very healthy.

We were honoured to name this after the Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal who is patron of Riding for the Disabled. The charity offers opportunities for therapy, achievement and enjoyment to people with disabilities.
