David Austin roses free for the taking

9 years ago

I have about 40 DA roses that I am getting rid of if anyone is interested ( so far 8 have been spoken for). I do not know the varieties but most are pinks and peaches. They are located in Marshall Virginia. I would like them gone once the weather cools in the fall. If you are interested please let me know and we can arrange something. I will be away from this site for 2 weeks starting Aug. 24. I promise I will get back in touch with you once I return.

    Great idea! I am thinking late September, early October for digging .

    There's also an organization called the Federation of Garden Clubs; if you can find them they might be able to identify local chapters. I would bet anyone growing a lot of perennials would have Austin roses mixed in.

    Please let me know if you do have a digging day. I am in Alexandria and would happily drive down to you.

    Pinks are right up my alley!

    Great odyssey I will let you know for sure. I am going to start marking them by color so I am sure we can get you pinks. How many do you think you would want?

    Thank you so much! I am thinking 3-4. If you have any that are very double pinks, I would love those especially. I appreciate your kindness in offering these!

    I would love any available. I know you are gone away for vacation but if any are still there I will give them a new home!

    Hi Tiffany happy to give some to you. Will not be ready to dig them up until later this month or October. Lynn

    Would you be willing to sent some for me? I'll pay for the postal.

    I would love some!! I'm happy to drive to you and dig as well. Maybe 10 or 15? That's a lot so if many others have spoken too that's ok. you can reach me at acwrightfamily@gmail.

    Wat 3 I am sorry but I will not be sending any roses through the mail. I have enough local people that are willing to come dig up roses and take them away. Cassandra I am not sure I will have that many to give you but maybe 7. Lets see if everyone that says they want the roses actually comes through. I will reserve 7 for you and maybe when you come dig them up there will be more. They are looking a bit bedraggled right now due to the heart and Japanese Beetles but should start to bounce back soon.

    To all of you that expressed an interest in some roses now is the time to come get them. Most have been given away. I have had such an interest that I have had to limit it to 5/ person. Of course there is a chance people will not show. They have to be dug and or picked up during the week being that the owner of this property is here on the weekends and I do not want to disturb him.

    It's been a while since I've used the private message function here - not sure how to get you my contact info and figure where to go, but I'm visiting Virginia next week and might have time for a day trip out to pick up one or 2 if there are still some available. Thanks,
