York and Lancaster Jekyll says the name is also claimed for another striped rose (other than the 'parti-coloured Damask') of much less value, but the name is so pretty and the rose so charming that most of us think they ought to belong to each other.

Thought to have originated as a sport from the Perfume rose, R. damascena trigintipetala. Painted by Redouté at Malmaison. One of the earliest Damasks to come into flower. The best blooms are on new growth. A drastic trimming after flowering is most beneficial; if it is allowed to run wild, this Damask soon becomes straggly and poor, the tired-looking wood then providing only inferior flowers. Often confused with 'Rosa Mundi'.
