Autumn Damask

Autumn Damask

Damask Perpetual
aka: Bifera, Four Seasons, R. damascena bifera, Quatre Saisons, R. damascena semperflorens

The name Autumn Damask suits this rose well. It blooms well in early summer, at the same time as the once blooming damasks, and then does some repeat later, mostly in the late summer/early fall. The pointed buds, with their long, typical damask sepals open into loose, light pink blooms are intensely fragrant.

The bush is somewhat sprawly, with typical damask thorniness and light green foliage. It's not as winter hardy as my once blooming damasks, suffering some cane dieback most winters.

This particular plant was obtained by a cutting, so it's on its own roots.
