My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The Alnwick rose VS Abraham Darby

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I own an Abe rose tree which doing poorly now since it's in pot, and I totally neglect him, however I get regularly magnificiant buds.. Things will change in the future since I'm preparing a spot for him in my yard..

A friend introduced me to the Alnwick, and I'm a bit confused, the roses shape remind me of the peonies that I can never grow since I live in mediterranean region ( zone 10b and co), but the colour sound a bit like Abe, at least in the photos that I saw , I have already many roses in the pink tones, Eden rose , a Damascus rose very fragrant, so I'm a bit afraid that it will look like a déjà vu type of rose especially with my other roses.

What do you guys think ? Do any of you have both roses, if yes I'd like to see pics of them if you don't mind :)

    I grow both. Abe generally is peachier than the Alnwick. Abe blooms way more. Abe is bigger whereas Alnwick stays a smaller bush. The Alnwick blooms only last a day then blow in hot weather which is most the year here. As others noted, the Alnwick blooms are cupped shaped so a totally different look than Abe. Abe has way bigger blooms.


    Abe..in a peach mood


    Abe... in a pink mood




    Alnwick..
