DOWNLOAD EBOOKDavid Austin's first collection of poetry is the tale of The Breathing Earth: not a metaphor, but a living entity, an ecosystem that is the root of every story. Often drawing on his own life experiences in these personal tales, here is the philosophical, meditative poetry at the heart of the English tradition. David Austin is the author of a number of books in his capacity as the most distinguished breeder of roses and founder of the UK's largest and most prestigious rose-grower, but in The Breathing Earth we find a book unlike any of his other work: the account of a career and a life spent in contemplation of the natural world and human behaviour.

David Austin English Roses are vigorous, hardy, heat-resistant and disease-free. The bushes have a pleasant rounded habit and bear large, delicately scented blooms throughout the summer. The relative ease of growing a David Austin English Rose has inspired gardeners everywhere to try their hand. Interest in North America was so overwhelming that in 1999, the company opened an office in Tyler, Texas, which ships to the USA and Canada. The roses are organized into seven classification groups. Each rose profile features a description and cultivation techniques opposite a stunning full-page photograph.

David also recounts how he set out to create the English roses, beginning with his first, the fragrant Constance Spry, released in 1961. In eloquent prose he reveals his passion for these roses and his lifelong dedication to their improvement. He describes their growth habits, flower form, foliage and name origin, and provides valuable cultivation tips and instruction on how to cut and arrange roses.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOnce upon a time—before the 1860s—people loved old roses like "Pearl of Gold," "Marchionesse of Lorne," or "Autumn Damask." Then along came the hybrid tea roses, which were easier to arrange, more dramatic, and longer-blooming, and the old roses were all but forgotten. Now the lovely, subtle-hued, richly perfumed old roses are making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of a stubborn band of eccentric characters who rescued them from back alleys, ramshackle cottages, and overgrown graveyards across the country. Thomas Christopher tells us the fascinating stories of the old roses—how they were created and made their way to America—and the unforgettable people who "rustle" them from abandoned lots and secret gardens today, revelling in the mystery of an "unknown yellow."
