English Rose
Rosa 'Abraham Darby'
Synonyms: Austin Rose, Country
Darby Tree, AUScot, Candy Rain
My rose hunt was successful and
I ended up scoring 30 bushes. It is quite a mixture (just like their new
garden). Five of the 30 were Austin Roses. They will join a half a dozen other
Austin types presently in the garden. 'Abraham Darby' has a slightly weird
color but blooms nicely through the season including a couple of great waves in
the spring. Since the garden is located on a windy, cold ridge hardiness is
important and the Austins seem to be able to withstand the conditions.
Now to get all these planted.
Actually moving them around is even a bit of a problem. When the roses were in
the back of the pickup you could smell them about 6 feet away. I can’t wait
until they get loaded into the enclosed Grand Cherokee. Scented Heaven.

I love roses with fragrance. David Austins seem to fill the bill -- just lovely!
Look at all those seperating petals! I like the peachy salmon like color.
Lovely macro!
