My husband has loads of rooted cuttings - roses, willow trees, and many others. Despite having a large garden we have no room for them and I had the idea that he may sell them next year at summer fetes, school fairs etc.

Many of the roses are by David Austin. Does anyone know if it is legal for us to label them for sale using the David Austin name (for example 'Lady Emma Hamilton by David Austin')?

Thanks in anticipation!

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Forget that! I have found the answer elsewhere. Using the David Austin name is not allowed and you are not even allowed to state the name of the rose, as it is copyrighted.

    You can only use DA cuttings for your own use, not for resale.

    Hope this information might be of use to others.

    Sorry, but in the case of plant protection rights that's technically correct, but somewhat misleading.

    Plant rights are there to protect breeders and their agents from other commercial interests who might profiteer from their efforts.

    They really won't come after Mrs Bloggs who sticks a few plants on a stall at the church fete! :rotfl:
