Belle Isis
(Gallica-Damask Hybrid, 1845) – soft pink fading to white on the outer petals. Another Gallica Hybrid well regarded for its ravishingly
beautiful flowers and seductive fragrance. Paul Barden describes the strong fragrance as a mix of damask rose, anise, and soap!
David Austin used this rose to breed Constance Spry, which become the foundation rose for his line of English Roses. Growth habit
is typical Gallica, short to medium in height, while aggressively sprawling by sending out hungry suckers. Winter Hardy to zone 4.
Once blooming. Recommended by several forum members.
