Rose trees of Damas
According to the legend, Robert de Brie, comtemporary to Thibault de Champagne would have brought this rose from a crusade.
History teaches us that the Arabs reached Europe through Spain and Sicily, another trail to be followed.
Only one certainty: this rose tree could be found in the Damascus region before crusade times.
From its first days onwards, this rose tree has always been robust and loves warm and sunny climates.
The Damas rose trees have a looser and more stretched out bearing than the gallica rose trees and this flexibility allows them to adapt to other plants a lot better. Rose trees from this group can be easily identified through their downy leaves and their flowers bending on top of long thin "pédicelles".
They are resistant to diseases, particularly oïdium and their fragrance lasts for ever.
