David Charles Henshaw Austin OBE (16 February 1926 at Albrighton – 18 December 2018 in the same village)[1] was a British rose breeder and writer who lived in Shropshire, England.[2] His emphasis was on breeding roses with the character and fragrance of old garden roses (such as gallicas, damasks and alba roses) but with the repeat-flowering ability and wide colour range of modern roses such as hybrid teas and floribundas.
