A "painted Damask" rose, pre-1827, I remember a Pbaser used to love this rose, but I don't
think she is still a member, a pity. We have lost quite a few members over the years, very sad.

The milky white petals are often tinged with a crimson edge. There is some repeat flowering
if the deadheads are removed.
It was named for the mythological queen who was seduced by Zeus when he appeared in the form of a swan.

My roses have suffered a little by storms that raged through yesterday evening, but no
real damage thankfully.
