p31. Photo. The Damask roses as a group are among our oldest. Their ancestry is complex and some of them are not easy to classify; Ispahan, for instance, may well have a good many Alba genes in its makeup.

Ispahan ('Rose d'Isfahan'). Also known as 'Pompon des Princes'. This is one of the first Old Roses to open and one of the last to finish, and creates a brilliant display for the whole period. It is a fine bushy, upright shrub, up to 5 feet or so, and extremely free-flowering in clusters, although its small rather shiny leaves suggest other parentage than pure Damask. Neat buds, and exquisite half-open blooms, reflexing loosely later, and at all times a clear and pretty pink. 'Ispahan' has possibly the longest flowering period of the Summer Damasks
