As time ago mentioned, we also planted a long row (around 70 plants) of Rosa Damascena in two different variants: the Rosa Isphan (original from Iran) and the Rosa Kazanlik (original from Bulgaria).
We had the pleasure to see them blossoming; actually just the Rosa Isphan blossomed, even just after 4 month, while Kazanlik is still without its buds.
I have to admit the colours are quite impressive likewise their scent.
