The David Austin Rose Border
Created to celebrate the charm of the English Rose collection, the border emphasizes fragrance, flower shape, and size, inviting visitors into a rich sensory journey.
A garden for the future, rooted in beauty
We’re excited to launch a remarkable partnership with David Austin® who are celebrated worldwide for their iconic English Roses. This collaboration is a key part of our Next Chapter Project, marking 20 years of horticultural excellence and innovation at one of the UK’s most cherished historic gardens.
Celebrating the beauty and resilience of the English Rose
Planted in collaboration with David Austin Roses in November 2024, this border has been designed to showcase the beauty of the English Rose collection. It highlights a rich variety of forms, colours, and growth habits, creating a display that changes through the seasons.
Fragrance, flower form, and size are at the heart of the design, offering visitors an immersive sensory experience. Each variety has also been carefully chosen for its strength and ability to thrive in the face of a changing climate.
A blooming anniversary at Trentham
Last year, as part of celebrating 20 years since the restoration of Trentham Gardens, we proudly partnered with David Austin® Roses to create a breath-taking new rose border. Showcasing a blend of fragrant English, species, and heritage varieties, and part of our Gardens Revisited programme, this planting invites visitors to experience a timeless journey through colour, scent and artistry.
