Damask
Do you enjoy wearing perfume or cologne? If so then give a thought to the ancient Damask Rose that is highly valued for its fragrance and subsequent production of Rose Oil or "Attar of Roses". Introduced to Europe by the returning Crusaders (no not the Canterbury Super 14 team) Damask roses quickly became popular and were widely used by Apothecaries of the day for "medicinal" purposes, with rose water being seen as a cure for almost every ill. I supose if you weren't cured at least you would smell better!

3 LISTINGS
PAGE 1 ALL Damask. An enchanting old rose that became known around 1848 but is certainly older than that. The fully double purple blooms have an exquisite fragrance.
The new foliage has a bronze tinge to it that contrasts nicely with the bright green, more mature leaves.
Duc de Cambridge We are not certain this rose will be available this year. Please register your interest by adding to cart for a backorder and we will let you know. Damask. Absolutely gorgeous, fragrant, semi-double flowers in mid pink decorate this ancient rose from the Middle East. Wonderful fragrance, attractive foliage and stems that are not too thorny. Flowers for a long period in the summer. AKA Pompom des Princes or Rose d'Isfahan. Pre 1832.
Ispahan We are not certain this rose will be available this year. Please register your interest by adding to cart for a backorder and we will let you know. Damask. An ancient Rose that has an uncertain history but could possibly be from Iran. The dark pink-purple rosette shaped blooms are borne on slender stems in summer and have a strong fragrance. Responds well to hard pruning. To quote the Rosarian Peter Beales " well worth a place in any garden".
Rose de Rescht We are not certain this rose will be available this year. Please register your interest by adding to cart for a backorder and we will let you know.
