What is the AUS in rose names?

My friends and I recently visited the rose garden at Hampton Court Palace in England. Many, but not all, of the rose variety names began with "AUS." I think this must be an abbreviation, and I'm guessing that it stands for a society that registers names for plants...but I am just guessing. Can anyone please tell me more about "AUS"?

What is the AUS in rose names?
I think it may be an abbreviation for David AUSTIN roses? David Austins roses are world reknown and are the most beautiful and fragrant I have ever seen.
Reply:hmmm..never heard about that..sorry
