Description
Rosa 'Abraham Darby'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Austin, England, 1985
Abraham Darby (synonyms 'AUScot', Candy Rain, Country Darby tree) is a popular apricot rose cultivar which was introduced by David Austin in England in 1985. The English rose was bred by crossing the climber 'Aloha' with the floribunda 'Yellow Chushion'[1] and is named after the industrialist Abraham Darby, the constructor of the first ironbridge, which is situated less than 15 km from David Austin's nurseries. The naming happened in collaboration with the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.

'Abraham Darby' is an old-fashioned looking rose with many large, showy flowers with a classic quartered shape in an apricot-pink colour which varies with climate and age. It ranges from soft apricot pink on the inside, pale yellow on the outside in warmer areas to a rich peachy pink with lighter edges in cooler climates. Additionally the colour pales as the flower matures. The cupped flowers have an average diameter of 11 cm (5 inches) and up to 70 petals. They usually have strong, fruity fragrance, grow in small clusters and appear abundantly throughout the season.[2] As the rather heavy flowers tend to bow their heads, Abraham Darby is suited to be trained as a climber.
