David Austin website states Evelyn has having 100 petals, versus only 70 petals in Abraham Darby. Evelyn has old rose/peaches scent, versus Abe's sharp citrus scent. My SHRUB version of Evelyn can be pruned hard down to 1 foot, massive spring flush plus 3 fast repeats. Own root Evelyn is much healthier than Abraham Darby (prone to blackspots). There's also the climber version of Evelyn with buttonhole and lighter color. I have the short shrub version with fast repeat, healthy glossy leaves and intense peach scented blooms.
