HERB - old roses

[Sheron Buchele/Curtis Rowland]

My damask rose bloomed this spring in a wonderful display!  It was nestled
in with a double feverfew and the pink and white was quite spectacular.  I
am not sure what kind it is, but it is incredibly fragrant.

I have a post about old roses that I will send to the list as soon as I
find it.
