Insights
Why the heavenly name? Under thirty miles from the David Austin nursery is Lichfield Cathedral where, in 2003, a remarkable discovery of a carved limestone panel was made, depicting an angel, now known as The Lichfield Angel. This glorious rose which, being almost thornless, angelically inflicts no pain.
