David J. C. Austin, known for appearing on the BBC’s Gardeners’ World and as the owner of the namesake rose-breeding business David Austin Roses, has died at the age of 67. Both accounts say he was diagnosed with a neurological illness linked to Mad Cow Disease and that he died after losing his battle with the condition. The reports also note that fellow broadcaster Monty Don leads tributes following his death. The articles do not provide additional clinical details beyond the illness association, and they do not specify a location or date beyond his age and the announcement of his death. The coverage frames Austin’s passing as both a loss to the garden television audience and to the wider horticulture community connected to his rose brand, which is widely associated with the work of producing and marketing heritage-style roses.
