Celebration of Roses, January 14: Léda

Link to HMF: Léda

Acquired From: High Country Roses

Own Root? Yes

Would I Grow Again? Yes

Notes: Léda is also known as The Painted Damask because of the delicate pink coloring along the edge’s of her pearl-white petals. This rose has a quiet beauty from the softness of the coloring to the frilled sepals best observed up close. The fragrance is what you’d expect from an old Damask rose. I have found that Léda takes a few years to get established.
