Description
Rosa Falstaff by David Austin remains to this day one of the most beautiful creations among crimson roses. This vigorous bush, which can also be trained as a small climber, produces magnificent deep cupped roses full of red petals that gradually develop rich shades of purple and violet. Just like their colour, their fragrance of old rose with oriental notes is sumptuous. This repeat-flowering rose blooms from May to October. The bush is adorned with ample dark green foliage that perfectly enhances the flowers.
This English rose, introduced in 1999, is one of the finest introductions by the renowned rose breeder David Austin. Falstaff belongs to the group of English Hybrid Roses of Old Roses. It forms a beautiful bush with a rather upright habit, reaching about 1.25m (4ft) in height and 1.1m (4ft) in width. In favourable conditions, in warm climates, it can reach up to 3m (10ft) in height. Its growth rate is fast and vigorous. Its thorny stems are adorned with dark green foliage, divided into large toothed leaflets. It shows some sensitivity to black spot disease in humid climates. This deciduous foliage falls in autumn. This repeat-flowering rose bears 8 to 10cm (3 to 4in) wide flowers. They are solitary or grouped in small clusters of 2 to 5 units. Each cup-shaped flower is composed in the centre of multiple small petals, surrounded by larger petals that are slightly curled, and sometimes organised in quarters. The flower is initially intense crimson-red in colour, before gradually taking on shades of deep purple with violet highlights. Its powerful fragrance of old rose is more noticeable in calm and warm weather.
Rosa Falstaff is opulent and theatrical. It deserves a prominent place in the garden, near a pathway, or even against a house wall. One can place perennial geraniums, perennial salvias, forget-me-nots, foxgloves, or even chamomiles at its base. Any light flower that won't overshadow its truly magnificent flowering will be just fine. It will also thrive in a shrub border, with white, mauve, or pink roses, or a small herbaceous clematis in mauve, white, or pink tones. Roses go perfectly with catmints, campanulas, paniculate gypsophilas, and herbaceous or climbing clematis. Finally, you can plant it in front of taller shrubs, in a small flowered hedge, or use it to fill the base of a tree.

Planting and care
Plant in a sunny location. English roses are tolerant, but do not like excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked, not too heavy, and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and add fertiliser to the bottom of the planting hole (dried blood or dehydrated horn, for example). Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root growth.
Pruning is essential for flowering. Shorten the branches to two or three buds above the ground in spring, choosing an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning should be done at an angle above a bud.
Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.
For climbing roses: the branches that bloomed the previous year should be reduced to 3 or 4 buds or pruned to 15cm (6in). The new sturdy branches should be tied and the old branches removed, if necessary. Choose a bud pointing outward for a more elegant habit. Remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at an angle above a bud.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
