Abraham Darby is one of the most vigorous
of all David Austin roses. Having heard
from fellow rosarians that it bears long arching canes, I decided to plant it along
a fence on the west side of my property and let it spread out. Abraham Darby is a well-rounded shrub which
bears numerous, very large 5” across, old fashioned, double cup-shaped flowers
in shades of apricot, and yellow, becoming tinted with pink as they age. Few roses make such a fine display or produce
such magnificent blooms with glossy green foliage all through the season. To encourage better crop of flowers and help
maintain its compact form, summer pruning is recommended. The growth is vigorous and reliable and it
repeats well. Height is 5 ft. x 5 ft. or
8 ft. as a climber.
Abraham
Darby is an outstanding rose with disease resistance and continually
blooming. I planted a pink clematis next
to it and they complemented very nicely.
It has a rich, fruity fragrance with a refreshing sharpness. Abraham Darby is named after one of the
founding figures of the Industrial Revolution, who lived in Shropshire.
