Charles Darwin
Description
Charles Darwin produces exceptionally full, deeply cupped blooms in warm shades of golden yellow that can soften toward mustard and cream as the flowers mature. The substantial blooms have the lavish, many-petaled character associated with classic English roses and are complemented by a strong, warm fragrance. Its rounded shrub habit and repeat flowering make it a beautiful anchor for mixed borders, where its rich coloring pairs especially well with blues, purples, and soft pinks.
