David Austin Roses


This was for Gardenia a couple of years ago/Questo era per Gardenia un paio di anni fa.















My mum was a great fan of David Austin, her garden was full of his roses and there were
always several copies of his catalogue in the house, which, of course I have kept! From
time to time I've used them for commissioned work for Gardenia or my own stuff and I recently
decided to use up the whole collection, from 1993 to 1999!
I also emailed DA this summer and they very kindly put 2 of this year's catalogues in the post.
I was delighted and very surprised to see that they had arrived, yesterday, 1st October - 6 weeks
later!!
Of course I had completely given up on the idea of ever seeing them. Wonderful, like a present!
_____Mia madre amava David Austin, il suo giardino era pieno delle sue rose e in casa nostra 
giravano diverse copie del catalogo, che ovviamente ho tenuto! Ogni tanto li ho utilizzati i per 
lavori commissionati da Gardenia oppure per i miei progetti e recentemente ho deciso di fare 
fuori l'intera collezione, da 1993 a 1999, usandoli per i collages.
Quest'estate ho sentito DA via mail e, molto disponibili, mi hanno subito spedito un paio dei 
cataloghi 2014. Ero contentissima e anche molto sorpresa quando ho visto ieri, 1 ottobre che 
erano arrivati, dopo un mese e mezzo. Non ci speravo più. Meraviglioso, un regalo!
