The Damas\ Rose (Rosa damascena) 
The Damask Roses are very hardy and make robust growth, clothed with large, rough, 
light green leaves. Their flowers are very freely produced and are generally borne in trusses 
of three or more. Relatively few varieties of Damask Roses were ever introduced, but they 
contributed largely to the ancestry of the Hybrid Perpetuals, and the fame of their powerful 
fragrance is second only to that of the Cabbage and the Moss Roses.

The Cabbage Rose (Rosa centifolia) 
While the Cabbage Roses which we grow in gardens now are usually neglected and 
unkempt bushes, no class of Roses more liberally repays good care in fertilization and

heavily and to prune them closely for best results.
