2011 Austin catalog stated Evelyn has 100 petals, versus 70 petals in Abe. Darby. Pic. is my 12th-year own root Evelyn ( shrub version). I prune it down to 1 foot after each flush. Never see RMV, rust, blackspots, mildew nor proliferation. Evelyn is the HEALTHIEST rose among my 160 fragrant own roots. But Abe. Darby is prone to blackspots and rabbits eat Abe. Evelyn's peachy scent is much better than Abraham sharp citrus scent (stinks up when aged in the vase).
