Litchfield Angel, what a beauty.
I have been looking for the perfect white rose. This was a big help. tranquility it is. Thanks!
Please do watch it’s full personal review lots more information in it -it’s a smashing rose
Beautiful flowers
Tranquility is spectacular! I would also include Desdemona in this comparison; such a wonderful citrusy scent! Also, I like the low petal count type of blooms 🤩
You are amazing! Thank you so much for your hard work, for all these reviews and advices. Your channel is the best for D. Austin Rose lovers
Thank you I’m very happy to help
I'm so excited I just bought "Tranquility" today, it was an absolute surprise to see it in my local Grocery store garden center! I did a double take when I spotted the green DA pot from a distance. Can't wait to see this beautiful rose take off in my garden.
Good luck with it !
Thanks for a great video again 😍
I can attest to Imogen’s tolerance for shade. She flowers generously for me on four hours sun a day tops. I’ve also found her to be quite healthy, resistant to black spot and even passed up by invading Japanese beetles. Her only downside is how fragile her blooms that seem to shatter with the slightest upset, but they fall prettily and are soon replaced with more.
Lovely videos! I would like to see a video of the single roses from David Austin. Thanks! Regards
I am not able to differentiate between Tranquility and Lichfield Angel. I don't have labels on them. How to differentiate?
Благодарю за обзор
Litchfield Angel makes a perfect pair with DA wedding rose, Keira
I have Winchester Cathederal & Claire Austin in my shopping cart :) The 4th rose is stunning. Currently looking for strong fragrant pure white, no tint at all, if it exists at all
None of the whites are particularly fragrant I’m afraid
How does Tranquillity do in part shade? I'm thinking of planting her in sun from 9am until 3pm.
Thank you so much for the comparison! I didn't know about Imogen until you shared, how lovely! I would love to know your thoughts and experience on Desdimona and Wollerton Hall as well? Thank you so much for sharing, I love your channel and greatly appreciate your wisdom and advice!
I’m really glad that you enjoyed the media I produce. I filmed a personal review of all at an old hall. It’s available to watch here at any time. As for Desdemona. It has just left my collection and headed for the compost heap in the sky. There’s no doubting that the blooms it does produce are beautiful, but it’s week and doesn’t produce very many even with 3/ quarters of an acre. I’ve been did not worth growing and removed it.
If you’re looking to grow a white Austin, by far, the best in production, currently is Tranquility or Litchfield angel
@@the_gardenerben Well, did not see this & I bought Desdemona. I'm in hot sunny California. I have my eyes on Claire A & Litchfield A. Sort of heard Tranquility gets blackspot. I have some more shady spots that could use a rose so that's also a consideration. I hope Desdemona is happy next to Bolero. It's a small potted plant from DA in TX.
Hi!Ben...Thank you for sharing😇.I love tranquility.I planted it in a shady spot with just some evening sun. it is so floppy and full of blooms.im so happy with its performance.How often do u feed your roses in pots? you mentioned in the past about wood ash did u mix lots of paper ashes as well?
I don’t tend to feed in between top dressings or mulching it’s often not needed
@@the_gardenerben oh ok...Thanks Bens.🙂
Would Litchfield Angel or Tranquility be ok in a large pot or trough? I’ve planted some Desdemonas in a trough and they’re doing really well and look stunning but fancied a different David Austin white in some troughs in another location. Already got the Claire Austins which are beauties and doing well up the wall. I have just gone for all white roses in my garden so was looking for another variety. I like to cut them too so the mix of different whites/creams in a vase is lovely.
Yes, as long as the containers were large enough, they would be just fine they will need to be at least 70 cm in diameter and at least 70 cm deep

@@the_gardenerben thanks ever so much for the reply and the links I shall take a look 😃
Thank you! Have you already published a review of William and Catherine? In a completely different style, I would love to hear your opinion about Boscobel.
Hi no I’ve not reviewed W&C boscobel but is available to watch any time
This was wonderful. Thank you.
May I say that this video leaves me feeling...happy! . I love
white roses, and the delicate tones they can take on. ***A question: there us a rose in the front, on your left hand side, which looks almost like a peony. Outer petals very pale
pink. Could someone name it?
That’s Imogen
@@the_gardenerben
Thanks!😙
Thank you so much for your excellent review and recommendation as usual. I am going to get Tranquility and Claire Austin next year :) Could you give a top number review of the DA roses that can stand the long summer day sun? I happened to plant a Tess of D facing south this year, the flowers can last for days under the scorching afternoon sun, which made me very happy :)
It’s a video I’m yet to film but one that’s on it’s way 💚
@@the_gardenerben
That is the same thing i want to know. I’m in Florida zone 9. My cottage garden is in full sun facing west.
I want a white & a pink, Gertrude Jeykell. Not sure if Tranquility can take the heat.
No mention of fragrance for Litchfield Angel. Is it fragrant? If so, what kind?
Personally I get very little from it at all the colour is excellent though
What is your secret in growing so very healthy & big David Austin roses? I try & try but they are not in any closer to flowers that you show. The flowers are very droopy. Which of the white David Austin you are showing has the biggest bloom?
The largest would be litchfeild angel or tranquility my shrubs are well established They need several years to find their stride
What is the best peach-apricot rose to get as far is bloom size and health?
There are several to look at please do watch my best of collection where I bring together all of the yellows creams and apricots. In one presentation you’ll see them all lined up for you to make your choices. My personal favourites.

Thank you so much!
My Lichfield angel doesn't have nearly the number of petals as yours. Is there something I can do to help with the number of petals? this is the third summer in the ground for it. The size sounds the same, but not the shape: maybe 25 petals per bloom. Can a genetic change have happened to it?
That’s strange, honestly no it should be a carbon copy like for like
Imogen is said to be yellow on DA website. ?
As you can see it’s clearly not- this is why my personal reviews were launched, no editing, no filtering no post production and no light enhancement. If you want to see the true colour of any of the roses, I have reviewed look no further.
@@the_gardenerben Sometimes the climate affects the color. Imogen may bloom whiter for you but more lemon for others. I've even heard Claire Austin to get a yellow tone when grown in very hot areas. English summers are not over 90 to 100F for the most part I don't think.
