1. Heritage is a continuous bloomer, Abe takes a rest in mid season. 2. They are equally fragrant, but their fragrance are different 3. Heritage's flowers last 2 days at the most, Abe's twice as long. 4. Flower forms are different - it's a matter of taste. Abe's are much bigger (the largest I have ever measured was 6 1/2 inches across), but Heritage bears large clusters. Abe's flowers are more informal, with slightly wavy petals, Heritage flowrs are uniformly cup shaped, neatly arranged. 5. I have the two side by side, and Heritage does not get black spot in our garden, whereas Abe does - there is about a 50% foliage afflicted at the peak of the black spot season. 6. Both are vigorous growers - they reach up to 6 feet, and likel will get taller without pruning. Heritage is a narrower bush than Abe, which tends to sprawl more. 7. Heritage holds it's blooms upright (it's one of the few DA's that do not have flowers that bow!), whereas Abe's flowers do droop (I think because the flowers are so big and heavy). 8. Heritage has relatively few thorns, whereas Abe has quite fearsome thorns. They are hook shaped - all the better to grab your skin! 9. Abe has great hips (not the human kind). In conclusion, there is no choice between the two - you need both. And why not? I thought Olga has the best picture of a big bush of Abe?

Looking to see if anyone can provide cuttings of any of the following English roses: Abraham Darby Heritage pat Austin constance spry Sweet Juliet If any of these are still under patent, then ignore it! I cant seem to find a good list of expired patent roses. I can trade for plants or seeds in my list. I have roses planted in my garden but i have no idea what kind they are, so i don't know if anyone would want cuttings of them. (No pics or descriptions, i just moved in and never saw them in bloom :) ) Thanks!

We are pretty much the same way at our big Box stores too, lots of knockouts and things that look like they're long gone. Although last year for some reason I was milling around Walmart probably August and there was a Fiji and a couple other Kordes roses so perhaps if I am patient Walmart will get a few things in. Although for those of you who say you get things for a dollar I have never noticed any huge sales here in Southern Oregon. Boo
