Fragrant Roses

Thanks for the memories. I used to have this bourbon climber years ago. Zéphirine Drouhin had a good damask scent with few thorns if any.

Zephirine Drouhin very nice rose. I had one planted in a large planter, until some animal snapped it off one night. Here in thge UK, it has to my knowledgr always been listed as thornless. I recently learned that many commercial growers are giving up on it and are stopping production, due to it's mildew attacks.

mine does not get mildew. its been getting the brown spots. but been spraying with the liquid copper. I have had this plant going on 12 years. first I tucked it near the lilac tree as I had moved it from an original location where it would have died---too much wet soil. So it stayed in a very shady area totally not tended to at all but survived. Finally I arranged the spot its in now, so this is its 2 years in the new spot, and growing like gang busters, it gets some sun, not harsh direct with dappled shade during the day as the sun moves. Giving me lots of blooms, and new canes. Seems happy except for the brown spots, but they just started so I have been spraying. And yes, not one thorn on it.

Yes, no mildew here either but some black spot. Mine intertwined with an Iceberg Climber and looked very nice.

A popular literary connection: Rosa x 'Zephirine Drouhin' serves as a pivotal plot point in Agatha Christie's 1940 Hercule Poirot novel, Sad Cypress.

Rosa x 'Rouge Royale' is richly regal in color, petal count, and fragrance. It's also feeble, disease-prone, and probably inbred, more royal traits. It is one of the Romantica Series by Meilland.

The primary source of true rose oil (rose absolut, attar of rose, etc.) is the Autumn Damask Rose (Rosa x damascena),
which is a complex hybrid of (Rosa gallica X R. moschata) X R. fedtschedkoana that originated in cultivation somewhere in the Middle East or central Asia. Both richly fragrant, and remarkably remontant for an Old Rose, the Autumn Damask is now grown commercially for rose oil in many countries, including Turkey, India, and Iran.
