(Portlands) A jewel of the old rose world, 'Rose de Rescht' bears richly perfumed, very double pompon blooms of deep fuchsia-red suffused with warm purple tones, crowded with petals in the most satisfying manner. It flowers with generous abandon in early summer, then gathers itself to bloom again reliably into autumn — a rare and treasured quality. Said to have been brought to England from the Persian city of Rescht by the noted plantswoman Nancy Lindsay in the mid-twentieth century.
