Still hard to #Believe #OTD David Austin, #Rose #Breeder & #Writer, died.
After David passed, I found some of his #Advertisements from 1973.
By that time, David had worked with #Roses for 12 years.
His first commercially available Rose was the #Constance #Spry (#Florist #Legend)
One ad read:
#OldFashioned roses, #Shrub roses, #Rare & #Unusual roses, many of our own #Breeding.
Roses of #Charm & #Fragrance. The country's #Finest #Collection.
"A #Handbook of Roses" #Free.
