David Austin unveils pocket rose handbook for professionals
David Austin Roses announced the launch of the Pocket Handbook, a portable swatch book featuring over one hundred varieties of David Austin® Roses, designed for garden designers, landscapers, and trade professionals.
This pocket-sized swatch book brings together over one hundred varieties of David Austin® Roses, arranged around a rose-inspired colour wheel. Each slim card displays a rose image alongside essential details such as fragrance and growth habit, making it simple to match tones against companion plants, garden surfaces, and surrounding architecture.
The guide highlights the natural pairing of upright, formal forms for structured areas and spreading, arching varieties for more relaxed plantings, enabling designers to build schemes with both elegance and ease.
Early feedback from professionals has been positive, highlighting the handbook’s practicality and usefulness.
The exclusive launch of the Pocket Handbook will take place during the Professional Trade Services Open Week, starting the week commencing 8th September 2025.
