June is fabulous for Roses. I always enjoy them. This year all the lovely warm weather has helped them explode in beauty. This rose is a David Austen's Old English Rose named "Abraham Darby."
I seems to be the first one with a bloom each year and that first Rose is enormous.
The fragrance is very strong and somewhat fruity mixed with a traditional old rose scent, a very pleasant fragrance. Of all the apricot English roses, this has to be one of the very nicest and is a strong plant that reblooms quickly.
I have to go back again and again to smell this rose. It declares to me the glory of God.
1. Color-beyond gorgeous-pink and peach and golden yellow in the center.
2. Form and detail-lush and abundant-probably more than 50 petals edged with scallops and crinkles in their tissue like softness.
3. Fragrance-breathe it in and enjoy-amazing; sweet, fruity, spicy perfume.
Mt. 6:28 Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
