Description and Care: Abraham Darby is an English rose, bred by David Austin in 1990. It is a cross between 'Aloha', a modern climber, and the Floribunda, 'Yellow Cushion'.

It blooms most of the summer, with the largest flushes of flowers in the spring and fall.
Named after one of the great founders of the British industrial Revolution.
