OH Cool! I love David Austin Roses. I don't have any in my garden. I know they are supposed to be hardy. I think I need one boo, because the Japanese beetles don't want to go hungry.

Oh yeah! I have always loved the pictures of David Austins roses but have never seen one 'in person'. I would love to have one or two......especially as I've heard some smell so good. I would like to use them in a garden I am planning for the 5 senses.

Oh, I've always loved roses and left several when I moved I have been wanting to try some at my new home!

I love roses too and there will be a big bare spot in the flowerbeds next spring after I cut a small Douglas fir that's growing too close to my fence.  It'll make a good Christmas tree this year and won't go to waste.

I think a pretty David Austin Rose planted in my yard in honor of Erdine would be a nice thing to do.Then I can share the beautiful rose's with her and my friend's here  in Dec.When most are gone till Spring.And did I say I LOVE ROSE'S........keeping my finger's crossed.And saying a prayer too......

I love all roses, because they all have something different to offer.   Some have small blooms, but
plenty of them, some offer vibrant colours, or interesting patterns.   They are often generous
with repeat flowering.  It's hard to choose one particular type over another, but the David
Austins have something special in their rich "olden days" blossoms, often full of fragrance.
Who wouldn't want to add these beautiful colourful roses to their garden?

I would love to plant a David Austen Rose in the garden to remember they are Erdines favourite plant

West Texas needs a David Austin rose

I love roses, and have been wanting to add some to our new farm. I have seen pictures of these ones, and they are lovely!

 Hoping to convince my husband we need more space to grow things. Actually HAVING things to grow would help my case.

They would be great replacements for my Roses that didn't survive last winter.

I would love to have some of the David Austin roses to add to my garden I am trying to have a small "tea garden" in my backyard..A place of solitude, a getaway to read and meditate,these roses would be the perfect thing for the garden, the smell for the nose the beauty for the eyes.

Oh... David Austin Roses have been on my "I would love to have list" for some time!  I am planning a 'Garden of Memories' in honor of my 'Family Tree.'  A few David Austin Vintage Blooms are a must have!  My children and family members would be most thankful! Please consider my garden to be the thankful recipient of the David Austin Vouchers! 

YEA !!!!!   Pick me, Pick me
I'm moving in early spring back home to TX to live with and care for my 88 year old Mother.  Mom has always been a great flower gardener who learned by trail and error.  She currently has old pass along roses that she lovingly collected over the years.
I have many loving memories of working in the beds with Mom when I was growing up.   All of the beds are in great need of attention.
 
Mom spends hours now, sitting on the patio daily, enjoying the garden views and small animal visitors.  As I rework the bed that surrounds that patio I would love to fill it with David Austin Roses. 

How cool is it that BS is doing give aways? 
I don't feel I deserve to win, it would simply be nice to.  Good luck to everyone

Roses are pretty
Violets are too
I'd love to have a David Austin Rose
Especially from you, Boo

i am admitting that the thorns are a turn off but i am turning over a new leaf, so to speak, expanding past my area of comfort in many ways and i think getting a rose would be a great place to start.

My mother's favourite flower was the rose. I have some planted in my gardens in her memory. I would love to add a scented David Austin rose as she doesn't have one yet.

Because they are like potato chips...you can't have just one!  (which I do...heritage)  I need MORE!

I'd love to have a Rose that might not winter kill

Roses, roses a treat for the noses!  I've amended the dirt, I'd give my dirty shirt for a chance to win one of Boo's David Austin roses!!!

I'd love the roses because ever since i discovered that "real" roses have a fragrance, i rarely buy them in a store :)

A rose by any other name is just a rose but a Davis Austin rose is a treasured rose.

I would love to have roses growing in my yard again. I lost my Weeping China Dolls, and my Blaze Roses after having them for years and years. They were huge and along my walk and fence. 3 years ago they were just a pile of brown broken sticks, when they should have begun to come back to life!! Have no idea what happened. Dh claims he doesn`t have any idea either, so that lets any foul play out!! hahahaha. I promise I`d take very good care of them.

My garden needs some roses and I'm like Grindle, David Austin's make me think of Erdine. I just couldn't plant the daffs this year, it was just to sad for me to even think about at the time. But if I win the roses I'd gladly plant them and enjoy having the roses that I've only enjoyed before from Erdine's and other people's photos. Connie

I like roses but only have 2 growing in my yard, both were here when we moved here & are old.  I've always liked going to the nursery & looking at the roses & smelling the ones with good strong scents.  I don't think I'm more deserving than anyone else so I'll just wish everyone before me & behind me good luck!
