I know I have posted this in the gallery forum but I thought I would post it here as not everyone goes to the gallery....I think its a divine pic of Abraham Darby....Its amazing...the longer the AD rose stays in the vase the deeper the colour becomes...This one has been in the vase for 5 days!!! cheers Michelle

Thanks Michelle. I have been considering replacing Agnes with AD and your "in the vase' experience just about clinches it. Could you tell me how his shrub looks, please? How tall, wide, leafy and whether he gets any black spot?

Hi meryl2 I have a mid standard of Abraham Darby...As it is a new rose for me ,only about 4 months old ...I wont know how it will grow but so far the foliage is dark green and has been disease free...very easy to manage...The blooms last long on the bush...say at least a week..and if you cut them when they are just opening from the bud stage,you wil have a long vase life...the perfume is sweet and light....I love it and would happily recommend it...I will post a photo when I get a chance tomorrow....If you go to my photobucket album you will see some more photos there...see link...cheers..Michelle
