Hi. I am new in this group. I am trying to build a damasc garden. I have found Leda, few Indian damascs, rose de rescht. searching for Ispahan, Kazanlik, Madame Hardy, Celsiana, La ville de Bruxelles, Quatre Saisons and other damascs in India. Nurseries here, KSG, Puspanjali, Mainam, Pure blossoms do not have them.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
What are those Indian damasks you speak of?
Welcome to the group. I won’t be able to help you source any damasks in India. Hope you are successful. Know that growing any of there own pollinated seeds will give you a new damask of your own! Some will be harder than others!
Himroz, Jwala, kashmir Damask and Haldighati chaiti are the Indian Damasks I was referring to.
I’d recommend contacting rose societies in India. On the world federation of rose societies website I found this:
Hopefully one of those local rose societies may be able to help.
If you live near missionary towns or where there was colonial activity, you might be able to find old roses planted around churches or in graveyards where you can take cuttings if it is allowed.
