            shot by KHWD in the sunshine in my backgarden
Can't find the label for its name, so will use PlantNet app to discover later... Now done its a Damask rose and I do wish Flickr had "smell-o-vision" #smile

The deep red Damask rose is a stunning variety of Rosa × damascena, known for its intense fragrance and rich historical significance. This rose has been cherished for centuries, particularly for its use in perfumery, culinary arts, and medicinal applications.
Characteristics
- Color: Deep red, though Damask roses also appear in shades of pink and white.

Cultivation & Care
- Soil: Prefers fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil.
