UK's largest collection of David Austin roses bloom in The Alnwick Garden
The UK’s largest collection of David
Austin roses has spectacularly burst into bloom at The Alnwick Garden, creating
a stunning display of summer colour and fragrance.
The fashionable David Austin English Roses, known for their full flower and strong
scent, combine the forms and fragrances of the more traditional roses with the repeat
flowering of modern roses. The effect is a magnificent display of colour for weeks
on end and an amazing scent which fills the noses of visitors to The Garden from
100 yards away.
Trevor Jones, Head Gardener at The Alnwick Garden said: “The Alnwick Garden is the
only place in the UK to see the David Austin roses in such large numbers. The sweet
scent of the roses is amazingly powerful and hits you before you enter the walled
garden. They are such beautiful, full-flowered roses and the burst of colour is
magnificent.
“We’d urge those who’d like to see this stunning display to come and visit us over
the next few weeks to get the full impact of the colour and aroma of these very
special flowers.”
The Alnwick Garden has become known worldwide for its gigantic Treehouse, mysterious
Poison Garden, beautiful water sculptures and unconventional - yet family friendly
- garden design.
Opening times: 10am - 6pm (last admissions 5.15pm). Visit:
