According to the David Austin Site:
The blooms of ‘Charles Darwin’ are some of the largest to be found in the English Roses and are on a par with ‘Abraham Darby’, ‘Brother Cadfael’ and ‘Golden Celebration’, creating a really impressive effect in the garden. The flowers are very full and rounded at first, later opening up to shallow cups, which often have button eyes. Their colour could be described as old gold at first, sometimes with lemony or sandy tints. The blooms gradually pale in colour, creating a delightful mix. There is a strong, delicious fragrance that varies between a soft, floral tea and almost pure lemon, according to weather conditions.
