Abraham Darby rose is a very prolific bloomer. If you deadhead the spent blooms, it will bloom throughout the entire growing season. Strong fruity fragrance. Prefers a location in full sun. USDA hardiness zone: 5. Survives the winter in Halifax area and Yarmouth. In other areas: after the first hard frost, pile up about a foot of soil around the base of the rose. It survives most winters, but once every few years the top growth can be lost, but it will regrow. Available as a bare root plant or in pots. Won’t be mailed. Pick up in Halifax. Bare root pick-up: Bare root plants need to be picked up and planted within 2-3 days of their arrival to us. Tentatively, in the first week of May, but may vary by a couple of days. A notification of roses arriving will be posted on our Facebook page about 1-2 weeks ahead of time. Roses can be planted in the garden in early May; they are hardy and won’t mind an occasional night freeze. If you might not be able to pick up and plant your rose promptly, consider selecting “potted plant” option instead. Planting information and growing guide: https://halifaxperennials.ca/growing-guides
