Here are my two new Austins for this year, Darcey Bussell and Munstead Woods. Munstead Woods is my favorite, one of the best Austin reds I've seen. I am liking it more than my previous favorite William Shakespeare 2000.

This is Darcey:

And this is Munstead Woods:

Really gorgeous colors, and Munstead Wood is my favorite too because it has so many petals.

Lori, I'm keeping an eye on Munstead Wood. Is it more purple in person than in the picture? Does it have a great fragrance? Thanks for the pics!

Munstead Woods is a bit darker and more purple in person than in the photo. Hard to capture the color with my inexpensive camera. The fragrance is very good, old rose. Fragrance can fade on a very hot or very cool day, but is usually reliable.

Thanks for sharing both of these. I am waiting for my Munstead Woods to bloom. I want to see how they compare to The Prince.
