The 2009 David Austin Handbook of Roses is out

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

I have always enjoyed getting the yearly edition of David Austin Roses Handbook. The roses I currently have in my front flowerbeds are over 45 years old and bloom maybe once every other year. I am not sure exactly who planted them before I came to live here in this house, but I moved them from the side of the house where they hardly were seen to the front so everyone can see them when they bloom the most beautiful pink roses.

I was curious one year what kind of rose bush it was so I requested the David Austin Handbook of Roses to help me pinpoint exactly what it is and the varieties of other bushes I could add to the mix as well. When the handbook first came to my mailbox I was so excited thumbing through the pages and seeing the wonderful varieties that it showed.

The David Austin Roses Limited is based in Tyler, Texas and offers a collection that is beyond words. They have every rose you could image such as English Roses for under $65 for three plantings to Old Roses under $20 to Modern Shrubs under $20 as well. They offer ways to display the roses to how to place them in the ground and the exact way to pick them to keep the bush or shrub producing yearly.

Thanks to this handbook I was able to prepare my rose bush for this blooming season and now’s the time to start pruning those roses to get them ready for the blooming season. This handbook can help you pick the best rose bush or shrub for your particular taste. Pick your copy up today, by clicking here.
