A Bourbon rose introduced by Edouard Perichon in 1821. Rather flat open, pink blooms, good scent, long armed canes, some repeat blooming. Somewhat controversial rose because of the way it was introduced and then propagated, producing other roses with the same name. Brent Dickerson in his book The Old Rose Advisor, Volume I clarifies its history.’ Autumn Damask’ x ‘Parson’s Pink’. Photographed in Australia at the Ruston Nursery by Bill Grant.
