A Damask rose introduced by William ‘Bill’ Grant/ Heirloom Nursery in 1994. Light pink semi-double flowers with a strong scent, long summer flowering. This rose was found by William Grant at a burnt-out petrol station in rural Oregon. Obviously left to itself, it survived in fine condition. Heirloom Rose nursery took cuttings and released it to the trade in 1994. So far no one has been able to give it its rightful name. Photographed in the nursery garden by the namesake. | ||||
