Above: The free-flowering Austin rose 'Lucetta'. I have several in the garden, and she is a cracker of a shrub rose
Above: One of the older Austins, Lilian Austin(named after David's mother) is one that actually remains quite smallish and contained as compared to her large and lusty English contemporaries. She is truly lovely, and very generous with her flushes. Some people have trouble coping with her colour tonings, which are pinkish orange with undertones of yellow, but the sight of Lilian in full flight is a sight to behold.

Above: The softly-striped Bourbon rose Honorine de Brabant, grown beside Frulingsduft. I purchased this rose as 'Constance Spry', and am so desperately glad that it wasn't...as lovely as Constance is, I already had her in the garden, and it probably would never have crossed my mind to acquire Fruhlingsduft.
