I brought hom ethe Abraham Darby rose from my local nursery about a month ago, and it is now flowering . I chose two from the shrub to bring inside and admire. They are bewitching in their beauty and fragrance. So delicate and fragile, the ruffles so translucent, and the scent  - fruity with  citrus notes. I'm reminded of  the saying by Ralph Waldo Emerson - the earth laughs in flowers.  They certainly bring alot of joy.
