Apothecary Rose - Rosa gallica officinalis has a fascinating history. In medieval times it's petals & hips were used for medicine. Very fragrant, making it perfect for lotions & creams. It's the Red Rose of House of Lancaster from War of Roses.
It's obviously pink.🤔 If you know why that is, please tell me. #bloomoftheday #inmygarden

Ubookquitous Most likely it is a variety of created through cross breeding 7y
Andrew65 Found this comment on Wikipedia, 'the Red Rose of Lancaster is the county flower of Lancashire. The exact species or cultivar which the red rose relates to is uncertain, but it is thought to be Rosa gallica officinalis.'. Looks exactly the same as your picture, which is definitely not red and all the flags etc for Lancashire are most definitely red! 7y

Some mornings you just need to drink tea, enjoy Carefree Beauty Rose and listen to the rain.

My favorite pink rose Therese Bugnet. Depending on who you Google that's pronounced Terez Boo-nay or tair-EZ boon-YAY or as we Okies say The Bug Nut.
