David Austin Tess at a glance
The David Austin Tess® is one of the most elegant red English cut roses from the David Austin Wedding & Event Roses collection. Its deep velvet-red flowers, richly filled English rosettes, and refined appearance make it an absolute favorite for romantic bouquets, stylish dinners, and special occasions.
At Belle Epoque we supply David Austin Tess® directly from Alexandra Farms, the world’s leading specialist in cultivating David Austin Wedding & Event Roses. This ensures exceptional quality, optimal freshness, and flowers that develop beautifully at home in the vase.
A rose that opens more each day
Tess® arrives as an elegant bud and slowly unfolds into an impressive English rosette. The many velvet-soft petals open layer by layer, making each flower fuller and richer.
The intense deep red color gives every bouquet a warm, luxurious look and forms a beautiful contrast with fresh greenery or seasonal flowers.
A subtle, classic fragrance
Besides its impressive flower shape, Tess® has a soft, classic rose scent that creates a warm and romantic atmosphere. Subtly present, but just enough to complete the experience of a freshly picked English garden.
For the creative flower lover
David Austin Tess® is a rose that invites you to create the most beautiful floral arrangements yourself. Thanks to its generous blooms, just a few stems already create an impressive result.
Combine Tess® with greenery from your own garden, such as eucalyptus, olive branches, ornamental grasses, or flowering branches. Dark berries, dahlias, or hydrangeas also form a beautiful contrast with the deep velvet-red flowers. This way, you easily create a natural arrangement with the look of an English cutting garden.
It is precisely the combination of exclusive David Austin roses and flowers from your own garden that makes every bouquet personal, atmospheric, and unique.
Make every celebration a special experience
Whether you are organizing an intimate dinner, hosting a garden party, decorating a wedding, or want to give your living room a warm look, David Austin Tess® immediately brings atmosphere and elegance.
Fill multiple vases with Tess®, combine them with fresh greenery and seasonal flowers from your own garden, and create a stylish, natural decoration. The rich red color and romantic flower shape provide a luxurious look your guests will not soon forget.

Forty years of nothing but roses
