Episode description
Bunny chats to David Austin Junior in his Shropshire garden. David Austin Junior is the son of the world-famous rose breeder, David Austin OBE who died in 2018.
David (who is Bunny’s cousin) joined his father in the family business, after running a jewellery business for eight years with his first wife. David has always had a keen interest in business, which he combines with a passion for roses.
David talks about how he grew up with the rose business as a child, how he realised that his father’s business was going to be massive, and how he helped develop the strategy including the licensing to many countries, developing the wholesale side and working with the garden centres.
David’s own garden is full of roses grown in many different ways. He gives a fascinating insight into the business, the way roses perform and how to get the best out of them.
