“Forest Ranch Pom-Pom”  (Possible Damask Perpetual)

"Forest Ranch Purple Pom-Pom" (Found, No. California, Parentage, Introducer, Date Unknown) Sprays of fragrant, fully double, rich mauve blooms cover a compact bush that varies between 3 and 6 feet in height. This beautiful Northern California foundling comes from an old Butte Co. (California) homestead. Sherri Berglund. of B&B Nursery, says: "I've had “Forest Ranch Purple Pompom” for 5 or 6 years. It is a typical Damask Perpetual, reblooming, though not in constant bloom. I get a mid-summer repeat and a nice show in the fall. It is a short-statured plant for me; 3 feet or so. The one in the Sacramento Cemetery is perhaps twice that. Other than some fall rust, it is clean, and I don't spray. It's extremely fragrant -- a floral x damask scent to die for."
