I first saw this rose as Autumn Leaves and looked everywhere for it. Of course it had been renamed by David Austin as English Elegance. It is surely my very favourite rose. Now I have the flowering problem sorted (poor flowering from at least 3 different plants) I get plenty of roses and just love it. Sometimes you get a bit of a challenge with different roses. This year I planted an old-fashioned tea rose garden and it has been a disaster with odd shoots every which way from shrubs which only produced very weak stems. Anyone have any advice about this?

I have had a lot of problems getting the David Austin rose English Elegance to flower. My solution was to take cuttings from the flowering shoots which were minimal and strike them. This has resulted in a normal flowering pattern. Hope this helps others with poor flowering roses.	REPLY
