The autumn-flowering re-damascena rose is an old rose. It is the earliest known European rose to bloom more than once in summer, producing waves about 6 weeks apart, continuing until late autumn. In 17th-century Italy it was known as la rosa d'ogni mese (“monthly” rose). Genetically it is indistinguishable from the common single-flowered Damask roses and is presumed to be a seedling or mutation of one of them. The flowers are terry, dense pink, fading to a paler pink, with a strong fragrance. They appear in dense, upward-facing clusters of 3–10 flowers. The foliage is soft green, matte, and strongly toothed. The shoots are dotted with long thorns of different sizes. The bush is elongated in habit and can be kept more compact by pruning. Regular removal of spent flowers encourages re-blooming.
