9 rose varieties

Damask roses are among the most celebrated Old Garden Roses, admired for their rich, unmistakable fragrance, graceful arching growth, and soft, romantic flowers. This collection brings together historic Damask varieties, usually forming vigorous, prickly shrubs with semi-double or fully double blooms in shades of pink, blush, white, and occasionally distinctive colour blends. Most Damask roses flower generously in early or midsummer, while Autumn Damask roses may continue with lighter repeat flushes into autumn. Explore this category to discover fragrant heritage roses for cottage gardens, historic landscapes, traditional rose collections, informal hedges, and borders where their perfume can be enjoyed up close.
