David Austin Wedding Roses are constantly looking to the future and breeding is central to
everything they do, with a constant pursuit for the perfect rose.
10 and 12 years in the making, they are delighted to introduce 2 new varieties to their cut rose
collection, Enid (AUSCP18729) and Phoebe (AUSCP17960). Both unique and deserving of receiving the
David Austin hallmark.
Carl Bennett, Head of Breeding, explains the extraordinary dedication behind each rose. “The
patience of perfection defines our breeding process. We don’t just create roses; we cultivate living
works of art. Each variety represents years of meticulous selection, where we look beyond mere
appearance to capture what Mr. Austin always called the ‘grace and charm’ — a unique character
that transforms a beautiful flower into an extraordinary experience.”
Available to pre-order now – in time for the wedding season.
ENID ™ (AUSCP18729)
The name meaning behind Enid is ‘Spirit; Life; Purity’. This resonates well with her cream and ivory
tones.
A mesmerising, attractive rose who exudes confidence and strength. She unfurls at her own pace,
but once in full bloom, her presence is undeniable, lasting and profound in the vase. A true cream
with accents of pistachio green with a core green stamen at her centre. Her fragrance begins softly,
with a delicate rose perfume, laced with a subtle hint of myrrh. At first, it is light, but as her blooms
open fully, the scent deepens, unfolding like the rose herself.
Colour: Cream
Scent: Light. A soft rosy perfume with a delicate hint of myrrh.
Opening time: Up to 4 days to open bloom
Vase Life: Up to 10 days
PHOEBE ™ (AUSCP17960)
Phoebe’s name means ‘Radiant; Bright; Shining one’ which reflects in her glowing pink and coral
colouring.
Phoebe is a vision of quiet beauty, but as she blossoms, she confidently reveals a captivating rosette
of richly coloured petals. Her radiant elegant colour can be described as Flamingo pink. At her heart,
a warm coral hue pulses, which gently transitions from apricot orange to a soft, natural pink. A light
to moderate fruity floral fragrance infused with soft violet notes and a touch of red apple.
Colour: Flamingo Pink
Scent: Light-Medium. A light to moderate fruity floral fragrance. It has a classic rose character
combined with soft violet notes and a touch of red apple.
