I finally placed my order for my David Austin Roses. (jump for joy) I always admired the roses featured on
Davy's Louisiana's Gardening Blog. He grows the most stunning specimens. I asked him where he ordered his roses and he recommended
Chamblee's Rose Nursery. I placed my order for the following rose bushes. I ordered the
Anne Boleyn, it's a stunning soft pink rose with lots of petals and a nice fragrance. What I like about this rose is that it's a repeat bloomer, so it should bloom well into the fall.

I knew I also wanted a white rose so I picked out this one. It's called
Glamis Castle. On the Chamblee website is says the rose is named after, "
Glamis Castle, the childhood home of the late Queen Mother and the legendary setting of Shakespeare's play 'Macbeth'". I love that the color is a creamy off-white. It also has a fragrance and a repeat bloomer.

Lastly, I ordered this deep yellow rose called
Graham Thomas. It is named after "
one of the most influential rosarians and garden writers of our time." What I like about this rose is that it's disease resistant and the color is amazing.

The roses are being shipping out next week. I can't wait to get them in the garden. I planted only hybrid tea roses last year, so I am really excited to add David Austin roses to the garden this year.
These are beautiful roses! I grew 50 English roses a few years ago and might just start again. Please keep us posted. Chamblee's Rose Nursery and Antique Rose Emporium rock.
