History
David Austin roses
David C. H. Austin (1926 – 2018) was an award-winning rose breeder, nursery owner and writer from Shropshire, England. He began breeding roses in the 1950s with the goal of creating new shrub rose varieties that would possess the best qualities of old-fashioned roses while incorporating the long flowering characteristics of hybrid tea roses and floribundas. His first commercially successful rose cultivar was 'Constance Spry', which he introduced in 1961. He created a new, informal class of roses in the 1960s, which he named "English Roses".[4] Austin's roses are generally known today as "David Austin Roses".[5] Austin attained international commercial success with his new rose varieties. Some of his most popular roses include 'Wife of Bath' (1969), 'Canterbury' (1969), and 'Abraham Darby' (1985)[6][7]
'Lilian Austin'
Austin created the rose cultivar, 'Lilian Austin', by crossing the climbing hybrid tea, 'Aloha' with the shrub rose 'Yeoman'. He named the rose his mother, Lilian and introduced the new cultivar in Britain in 1973.[8] 'Lilian Austin' was used to hybridize nine child plants: 'Cymballine', 'English Garden', 'Othello', 'Fisherman's Friend', 'Mortimer Sackler', 'Queen Nefertiti', 'The Countryman' , 'The Reeve' and 'The Prince'.[3]
