The Country Parson - 1st Year

2 years ago

last modified: last year

I thought some people might be interested in the new varieties from David Austin Rose.

2nd Flush

Its blooms are about the same size as Harlow Carr's blooms but they have more depth. It also compete with HC on the amount of thorns. Blooms seem to last longer too, about 3 - 4 days.

Hoang Ton: Among your many Austins, which one has the best bush beauty? Which one has the best scent? Which one has the most beautiful bloom? and which one has color that don't fade? Thank you. I appreciate your sharing the beauty of Austin roses with your videos. The new Austin catalog is boring, so your posts help me a lot, many thanks.

I know it’s still so new but do you feel The Country Parson’s color saturation improved as it matured last year? I have a much shorter growing season and it was a continuous bloomer but the blooms always had a washed out appearance (hardly noticing any yellow at all) and it wasn’t self cleaning and so it looked pretty horrible last year. I’m debating on already finding a replacement vs hoping I’ll see an improvement this summer.

Dave, the color saturation stayed the same throughout 2022, don't know if its coming 2nd year will be any different or not, we'll see
