Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Rosa ‘Baronne de Wassanaër’

Damask Moss rose.  The flowers are scented, globular, large but not very double, bright red, borne in clusters in summer only, but it is a hardy, vigorous grower which flowers for a long period.  To 1.5m.  [Paul (1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1857, 1863), Amat].
