Abraham Darby Rose

One of most iconic early creations—an unforgettable rose that helped define the English shrub rose style. Introduced in 1985, this variety has captured the admiration of gardeners for decades with its lush, overflowing petals and rich, warm color blend of apricot, peach, and soft pink. The blooms are exceptionally full and deeply cupped, opening into large, luxurious rosettes that appear almost sculpted. Few modern roses can match the depth and generosity of its flowers. Its fragrance is powerful and complex—an extraordinary mix of fruit, citrus, and classic old-rose notes that fills the garden with perfume after every flush.
