Welcome

difficult to grow. The Rose is also

state flower of several states. Here at Rose Gardening World, you’ll find rose

This compact Portland rose is a a very reliable rebloomer. It gives a big flush of tightly-formed
rosette blooms in spring, pompon like and if you keep on deadheading it just
keeps on blooming. Fragrance is very
strong. Buds open in fuchsia-red color
and fade into light lilac. Rose de
Rescht will tolerate some shade. The
only disease I find is rust but all I do is prune the stems that are affected
and new healthy shoots appear. Parentage
is obscure, possibly Persian and discovery date is unknown but its recurring
blooming qualities coupled with those old fashioned traits and its strong
fragrance entitle this rose a place in any garden, large or small.
I planted lavender ‘Hidcote’ next ot it. They complement each other in color and
fragrance. Since Rose de Rescht is a
compact little rose, it is also a good specimen for container planting. For history buffs, Rose de Rescht was
believed to be growing at Castle Howard, in Yorkshire, England before the
Second World War.
