Holy crap!!!!
That's amazing!!!
Mine always has blooms that hang down. There aren't very many blooms. In fact I'm getting rid of mine.

Yours is SPECTACULAR!!!
Much impressed,

Kristy - I don't have Mr. Darby, but if I did and he looked like that, I'd have a thing for him too! Really nice!

Just gorgeous!

I am confused is mr. Darby also Abraham Darby .... they look the same to me .. is there a joke here I am not getting

This is Abraham Darby.

Ignore any and all detractors kristy.....AD is the unquestionable star of my garden.

I'll echo your love of Mr. Darby.
Mine is well on its way to being as beautiful as yours.
An absolute machine!

It's a beautiful rose! If others can't grow him well that's their problem, lol!

Gorgeous! Is that 3 of them in a row?

It can be the most gorgeous rose, like yours, but believe me it doesn't behave like that in all gardens. It may be the soil or the dry heat or even your greater talent as a gardener, but mine fried in the sun and was diseased with more shade. A real pity because it has so much going for it.

I don't spray. Guessing mine and Ingrid's look equally wonderful.

First rose I spent real money on and will be the first rose I toss in the green waste bin.

Congrats that yours are doing well.

I too have a thing for Ade Darby
