Remembering David Austin | Voices From The Garden | Lynn Hunt

The rose world lost a legend in December. 
From school boy to rose breeder...Growing up in the Shropshire countryside, David Austin developed a passion for plants from a very young age. However, his interest in flowers was truly ignited when he first discovered a magazine called Gardens Illustrated, tucked away in the school library. After being encouraged by his teacher, he decided to pursue his new found passion.
Despite continually discovering new found inspiration his dream, broadly speaking, remained the same as when he first started breeding roses as an amateur, all those years ago: to create the perfect garden worthy rose that combines beauty, fragrance, repeat-flowering ability and good disease resistance with great charm – the quality his English Roses are most renowned for. As he said in his book, The English Roses, he had one goal that was more important than any other, “… that we should strive to develop the rose’s beauty in flower, growth and leaf.” Of fragrance he wrote, “[It] may be said to be the other half of the beauty of a rose”.
A beautiful display at the recent Chelsea Flower Show had these beautiful words about him, "A Life Lived in Full Bloom." And, his life truly was lived that way. Our friend and writer, Lynn Hunt, had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Austin and has shared her story with us. Listen in...

Preserving Heirloom Roses | Connie Hilker | Hartwood Roses

 
The Rose Chat Podcast Team Teresa Byington and Chris VanCleave with today's guest, Connie Hilker
On today's show, you'll meet Connie Hilker and she's got a lot to say about the preservation of Heritage roses. Teresa caught up with her at the American Rose Society's fall national convention being held in San Diego California where she spoke on this topic and the Rose Chat Podcast was there to capture it all for you including a special chat with Teresa and Connie after her talk. It's an exclusive you don't want to miss. 
Connie is a lifelong gardener with over 600 varieties of roses in her personal collection. She is the chair of the Heritage and Preservation Committee of the American Rose Society, is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Heritage Rose Foundation, and Old Garden Rose chair for the American Rose Society Colonial District.
Connie manages the documentation, preservation, and restoration of the historic rose collection at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia, and is the rose consultant at the Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants at Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. She can often be found collecting roses from cemeteries and old home sites; teaching classes on rose history, care, and propagation; or tending to the roses in her garden in Hartwood, Virginia. Connie’s overall message is that "roses arent rocket science" and she strives to show that anyone with a basic knowledge of gardening can choose appropriate roses and grow them well.
