More about Damask roses:
Rosa damescena cultivars or ‘Damask Roses’ have two distinct sections: the Summer Damasks and the Autumn Damasks – like Rose de Rescht. The former flower only once and are large, thorny, quite open growing shrubs with intensely fragrant pink to white flowers. The latter, and their allies the Portland roses, are shorter, more compact shrubs with the ability to repeat flower in the autumn. Their colour range also includes red varieties and they share the same deep perfume.
Rose de Rescht is a Portland Damask. It has fully double ruby red blooms with purple tints and a button eye, and a wonderfully strong fragrance. An excellent smaller repeat flowering variety.
Pruning Guide: Prune repeat flowering Damask varieties, once established, by shortening stems by one third in February/ March.
