Old Garden Roses: The Gallicas

This is my second video in a series about the old garden roses, explaining the different classes of these heirloom roses. The gallica roses dominated for a long period in rose history, and took on great cultural and religious significance in the middle ages of Europe. That said, this video is quite a bit longer than others of this series will be - lot's to cover! I hope you enjoy.
