It fits with the Queen’s great love of flowers and has a reputation for being ‘dependable’ — a quality that speaks to her character as a monarch.
The Elizabeth rose’s reliability comes as a result of its health and versatility.
It’s well-suited to a mixed border, rose border, and rose hedges, and will serve as a lasting reminder of this notable occasion.

“Bring me Sunshine” was given its name as a tribute to the great British comedy duo Morecambe and Wise.
The song of the same name was made famous by the duo in 1969.
Since then, it has become a much-loved tune in the UK.

The song’s title and the rose’s name perfectly capture the essence of Morecambe and Wise.
Born John Eric Bartholomew and Ernest Wiseman, Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise brought considerable warmth to British public life.
Their partnership was famous across stage, radio, and TV and lasted for over 40 years.
Even after the sad death of Eric Morecambe in 1984, the duo still influenced comedy in the UK.
David Austin Snr. was a great admirer of Morecambe and Wise, so the naming of the ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ rose is also something of a tribute to him.

4. Over 60 Years of David Austin Roses
It was the late David Austin Snr. who founded the business in 1961.
Its foundations were modest, with just Mr Austin, his wife, and a small team working on breaking new ground in horticulture.
The first rose launched was Constance Spry (Ausfirst), in 1961.
You can see how incredibly beautiful it is from this photograph taken in the USA.
