This is quite probably the plant that writers in antiquity described as the Four Seasons Rose of Paestum. 'Autumn Damask' is the only one of the Old European roses to repeat its bloom, and some rosarians have suggested that it is a species hybrid with R. chinensis, created where the far edges of their ranges touch. Its garden value is undeniable, with richly fragrant flowers occurring in abundance on a compact, hardy shrub in spring, followed by scattered blossoms through the summer and fall. Light pink and double, this ruffled rose contains a good measure of Damask scent, possibly the finest perfume in the rose world.

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.
