Cultivar description

About Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin is especially worth considering when fragrance is part of the garden experience. Its flower colour, scent, and mature size all affect where it will be enjoyed most often.

Cultivar overview

Charles Darwin is a english shrub rose from David Austin. Introduced in 2003, it is best understood through its yellow colour, strong, tea scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its strong, tea fragrance is one of the main reasons to consider it for a spot close to people. Repeat flowering makes it easier to plan for more than one moment of interest during the season.

Garden character and use

Place it where fragrance can be noticed in passing: near a path, seating area, gate, or a mixed border close to daily movement. At about 41/2 feet by 4 feet, it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its yellow colour gives it a warm, sunny tone that can brighten an entrance or mixed border.

Bloom, fragrance, and care notes

Charles Darwin is strongest for gardeners who care about both scent and repeat bloom. With petal count noted as 140, the bloom has a useful clue to fullness and shape. Give it good airflow, steady watering, and a sunny position so the fragrance and flower form have the best chance to show well.
