    Condolences to Mr Austin's family. What gentle pleasure his passion and dedication must have brought to so many people.

      The breeder of English Roses, combining the best of the old rose scent and form with new rose vigour and disease resistance. A great horticulturalist and plantsman.

          The Gertrude Jekyll I have from them is rather spiky not gentle

            A growing legacy - in all senses.

              Sad news about someone who made a huge contribution to people's happiness.

              Roses are, of course, what men tend to think women want when it is they themselves who more often prefer them to most other flowers.

              I know I do.
