Autumn Damask Rose
Rosa damascena semperflorens
(RO-zuh)
Today’s rose falls into the category of Old Garden Roses and
was introduced around 1810. It is a strong growing, highly fragrant rose that
blooms once a season. One of the remarkable things about Autumn Damask Rose is
the high degree of disease resistance it shows in the garden. The foliage can
remain clean even during a big outbreak of blackspot and Japanese Beetles seem
to ignore it.
If you like Heirloom Roses I would recommend Autumn Damask
Rose. There is a reason it’s been around for 200 plus years.
It is known by numerous synonyms.
