Old Blush

With her earliest discovery date going back to before 1793, Old Blush is one of the oldest and strongest roses in the world. Her blooms are silvery pink with a deeper flush decorated with loose and semi-double, free-flowering blossoms. Old Blush doesn’t need much care and can be treated as a flowering shrub. She will reward you with an abundance of sweet pea-scented blooms. She has been grown in China since before the 10th century making her a rose of historical importance. She will thrive as a hedge or border, growing wild and free as she has done for centuries.
