Grace
This is a new rose (new release in Australia) from the David Austin nursery
its only in its 3rd year in my rose garden so early days yet. Seems to be
a very nice rose with a fairly typical Austin sprawl. Sorry, forgot to
give it a sniff! I should have remembered to do that, they always exude the
best scent in the early morning.

Great News
One of my favourite deep crimson & fragrant roses which can have a mulberry tinge in
spring. The bush stays low with a spread & is suited as a borderer.
Bred in the U.K.
Released onto the market 1973

Heritage
A very tall upright shrub with quite a spread. Mine reaches
8'00" and a width of 2 metres, so its not a rose for a small
garden in our climate.
Raised by David Austin of the UK
and released onto the market 1984
