Abraham Darby is Driving Me Insane
Comments (11)the stems are so weak they can't support the weight of the bloom. *** This was my major criticism of A.D. The stem and foliage were almost never in an attractive proportion to the blooms. I don't at all mind nodding blooms, but these! It was as though the skinny stems and small leaves came from one plant, and the enormous blooms from another. If I tried putting the blooms in a vase, the weight of the blooms tipped the vase over. A.D. was the first rose we ever lost to gophers. And I didn't replace it. I did find though that Austin's 'Emanuel' -- which is in the same color range, had just as much fragrance in a smaller bloom. The blooms were carried in neat sprays on sturdy stems, cut from a smaller, graceful, arching plant. Jeri...See MoreLove Mr Abraham Darby
Comments (19)Don't cha know it boxo! Love it!! Hey teka, I'm thinking it does seem to start out more pink and some turn apricot and others stay pink but I think its more pink than apricot. Its absolutely gorgeous in every stage but they are turning out to be monsters. I've got to figure out how to train it up my gazebo legs and still look graceful. It does have some nodding blooms but just as many if not more not nodding. I'm not sure how big it will get but right now these that i've had since April are a good five feet wide and some canes i'be let go so I can start training some up the gazebo legs. Once you move to Athens you have got to check out McCorkles Plant Sale. Its in Dearing Ga and they have two huge plant sales open to the public and you can get some awesome deals. Since you will bill be starting from scratch its a great place to help save some moolah. Its always fathers day weekend and a weekend in September....See Morecamp Evelyn or camp Abraham Darby?
Comments (33)My Abe has been a very good plant, but has declined some since this picture was taken. Mine is by the hot street and blooms usually don't fry but guess we don't get as hot as Las Vegas. I do spray but not so much after June. My Evelyn plant has never been vigorous. I have a friend with two good plants of Evelyn. I think I'll sp my Evelyn this year and try again in a different location. To me Abe is more beautiful and fragrant, and repeats well.

Comments (75)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...See MoreAng NC_7B
