About Kazanlik Potted Rose Bush
Rosa × damascena ‘Kazanlik’
Kazanlik™ is a historic Damask rose, bred in Bulgaria long before modern breeders, celebrated for its intensely fragrant, pale pink, flat single blooms with up to 30 petals. It blossoms once each spring or early summer on a vigorous, thorny shrub that grows upright and rambling, with medium green foliage. This rose is prized for its deep old-rose aroma and ornamental grace, especially in cottage gardens or for distilling rose oil.
