Old Garden Roses: The Damasks

With so many different types of roses out there, I've decided to make a series of short videos about the old garden roses. This one is about the Damask class - the rose of perfume and petals. They also make excellent garden roses. Here, I'll go through a bit of their history, their role in breeding, and give some examples of famous Damasks you can probably still find for your garden today.

If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:
