Description

Rosa ‘Abraham Darby’ is a modern English rose bred by David Austin, combining the charm of old-fashioned roses with repeat flowering and improved disease resistance. It produces very large, double, cupped blooms with a strong fruity fragrance, blending apricot, pink, and yellow hues that soften as the flowers mature. This variety flowers repeatedly from spring through summer, making it a standout feature in both traditional and contemporary garden designs.

Key Features:

  • Large, double cupped blooms with a strong, classic rose fragrance
  • Repeat flowering habit delivering continuous colour through the warmer months
  • Blended apricot, pink, and yellow flower tones that soften attractively with age
  • Moderate growth rate with a rounded, upright shrub form
  • Improved disease resistance compared to many traditional rose varieties
