(Damasks) Delicate pale pink petals deepen to a richer blush at the heart, forming beautifully double blooms of quiet, old-world charm. Powerfully fragrant, this rose fills the summer garden with a classic Damask perfume during its June and July flowering. Thought to be a variety of considerable antiquity, it carries with it all the grace and romance of the earliest cultivated roses.

Frequently asked questions

Every rose we sell is covered by our 1-year Rose Guarantee, so you can plant Blush Damask with confidence. See our Rose Guarantee page for the full details.

Blush Damask's mature growth range is 120cm x 90cm (4ft x 3ft). Growing conditions such as soil, sunlight, feeding and pruning can affect the final size, so treat this as a guide rather than an exact figure.
