I took these pictures on March 2nd, 2010 . This year, we have the most roses we have ever had, and the greatest selection of varieties .  Our dedicated team spent days and days potting them up.  We use a special soil mix, made just for us, to our own recipe.

          It is expensive , but worth it because in May and June, these bushes are in full bloom and look amazing. A few years ago, the North American rep for David Austin Roses visited our nursery at bloom time and said, quite honestly, that she had never seen better potted roses for sale, anywhere . 
    We do a bit of root pruning, branch editing and minor snipping before each plant is potted. We water by hand (no overhead watering means way less disease) and space the plants when they start to grow. All of this helps to ensure your roses get off to a good start once out of our care !
