The Damask Roses
The Damask rose, another old rose class, is extremely fragrant and disease resistant. Originating in the Middle East, the Summer Damask is said to be a Gallica x R. phoenicia hybrid and blooms only once, in summer, while the Autumn Damask, a R. gallica x R. moschata hybrid will bloom a second time, in autumn. Richly scented, Damask roses are slightly less hardy than the Gallicas. (hardy to zone 5).
Roses are available while quantities last. Varieties marked as 'sold out' may be available again next year. Remember to order early. More varieties will be available by summer.
Our prices may vary from season to season depending on the plant size. See the bottom of this list for Key.
