This rose came to me from a friend who got his plant from an Albanian lady who didn't know its name, hence its study name "Albanian Kazanlik". However, after extensive research with nothing to go on except vague descriptions in Trevor Griffiths second book on old roses, I think it could be one of the Russian-bred damasks used in the rose attar industry in countries like Albania and the Ukraine, called "Krasnaya Krimskaya' or 'Red Crimea'. This is guesswork and supposition, as I could find no other references to these roses. Another is called 'Red Kazanlik', If anyone has any further information, please post it here. Thank you.
