Prior to 1900's 3 to 5 feet 'Rose de Rescht' is exquisitely fragrant and can easily fill a garden with it’s perfume. It is best suited as a loosely cascading or rounded shrub to fi ve feet. Companion plantings of blue and white perennials accent this rose's lilac pink flowers well. It has an extended spring bloom. One of the best virtues of this rose, unlike many of the other cold loving Damasks, is its ability of thrive in the warmer Southern gardens. It is believed to have gotten its name from the Persian city of Rescht. Please note: Damask roses are especially slow to bloom. Do not be surprised if you do not see blooms on this beauty for the first couple of years. Even then, it takes her a few years to get to her full blooming potential. She requires patience, but rewards generously with fragrance, beauty, and longevity. Show more
