With the launch of its new rose Emily Bridgewater launched for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this week, the Albrighton grower is hoping to snatch its 28th gold medal at he prestigious gardening event.
David Austin, one of the country's most famous names for roses, has been growing the flowers in Albrighton for the last 60 years.
Since then the family business that calls the Shropshire countryside its home counts more than 200 varieties of roses to its name; roses that are enjoyed the length and breadth of Britain and far beyond. Last year, the Albrighton grower received its 27th gold at the Chelsea Flower Show for its rose collection, featuring the Dannahue, named after TV's Black Gardener, Danny Clarke; it was even visited by Queen Camilla and won the gold in the floral awards at the Grand Pavilion.
It is described by the rose grower as: “A romantic-looking rose with medium-sized blooms that look like an impressionist painting even in real life, the Emma Bridgewater rose offers a mesmerising kaleidoscope of colours.
