At SURPROSE, two varieties of David Austin roses are currently available to order, making the white rose: Leonora. The roses are known for their lush shapes and are reminiscent of a garden rose. The rose does not have the classic shape of an Avalanche rose, for example, but has flower-shaped leaves at the bud. The rose is also reminiscent of a peony. This is exactly why the David Austin are so popular! Curious about our other rose varieties? Then take a look at our lexicon.

David Austin - Leonora roses
The special thing about this rose is that the shape of the bud is very round, but in the round shape, the leaves form in all sorts of curves, giving the natural effect. The bud is filled with leaves and in bloom it opens into a very large rose. Because it can open up big, it is important that it has the space to do so. Therefore, put the roses in a spacious vase as well, so that all the roses can really open individually. Once opened, the countless petals and scent will surprise you!

Why are David Austin roses more expensive than other roses?
These roses come from England. They are mainly focused on the roses you plant in the garden, so not the roses you get delivered in a bouquet bound by SURPROSE. Growing and growing a rose for in a bouquet is different from a rose you plant in the garden. Also, much of the work in the nursery is still done by hand, rather than by machines. Order a bouquet of David Austin roses and someone at the nursery has cut the rose themselves.
They are also very much into sustainability. They love roses and nature, so they are happy to do their bit when it comes to their business. The quality of the rose also depends on nature and the environment, which makes this topic extra important.
