Damask, and Gallica or French Roses
A hundred years ago, these types were the most highly prized of all Roses. Their hardiness and fragrance have been handed down to the modern Hybrid Perpetuals and Hybrid Teas, but they are still most attractive in their genuine old-fashioned way. We are glad we can offer a good selection of these very scarce old sorts.
Rosa Gallica Splendens. A horticultural variation of R. gallica, similar to the type in habit but somewhat taller, reaching 4½ to 5 feet. Flowers are much the same size but more brilliant and shining carmine, very freely produced. Attractive and desirable for old-fashioned gardens and collections.
