My favorite red Austin so far.

Small but lovely, William Shakespeare 2000., a photo by Leenechan on Flickr.

Darcey Bussell may be more vigorous, but AUSromeo is superior in bloom form and fragrance. But he's so tiny!

WS2000 has been growing slowly but steadily and every flower he's produced has been perfect. I can't see myself putting him in the ground this year, though...maybe not even next year. He's got plenty of root mass, but his top growth is puny. Still, his flowers are so gorgeous!
