Damask Roses ...'Blush Damask' ..Known in culture in Sweden since the end of the 1800s....Found in numerous locations in southern and central Sweden....Description ....The classification of 'Blush Damask' is difficult. The three methods of analysis utilized by Pom do not give consistent results. According to Pom's study the nearest relatives of 'Blush Damask' are three sorts of the Gallica group, 'Amalica', 'Linnés Hammarby' and 'Häggeby'. Their similarity indices are 55,0, 54,5 respectively 54,5%. The next nearest is 'Pink Leda' in the Damask group, 'Duchesse de Rohan' in the Portland group and 'Geschwinds Nordlandrose' in the Damask group. Their similarity indices are 54,2, 52,2 respectively 48,0%.
In Pom's Split Tree 'Blush Damask' is placed as an accession to the Alba group and is well separated from both the Damask and the Gallica groups. Studies with the similarity index shoes that there is a fairly close relationship between 'Blush Damask' and the Alba roses 'Gunhild' and Great Maiden's Blush'. Their similarity indices are 45,8 and 42,9% respectively. 
Pom's dendogram gives no clear indication to which rose 'Blush Damask' is closely related.

’Blush Damask’ This rose has been in cultivation since at least as far back as 1759. It may have arisen as a cross between a summer damask and a gallica rose. ’Blush Damask’ has been found in several locations in Southern Finland. It has been variously called “Tähtitorninkatu”, “Kotka”, “Järvenpää” etc. according to the locality where it has cropped up. Here it is generally classified as a centifolia. It forms a loosely growing shrub producing abundant suckers. The flower is flat, about 8 cm wide, fully double, often quartered, light pink towards the centre and paler towards the outer margins, strongly scented.

‘Blush Damask’ /’Blush Gallica’ = Damas… grand buisson dense et ample… montre clairement une influence gallique…. rameaux grisâtres, clairsemés d’aiguillons courts… ample feuillage vert sombre… Vers la mi-juin… profusion de fleurs odorantes, très pleines, ébouriffées, d’environ 5cm de diamètre, d’un profond rose mauve pâlissant au blanc rosé sur les bords… Peu exigeant, il ne réclame que de l’espace pour prendre ses aises, mais tolère les sols secs et pauvres.

The Summer Damasks.
Blush Damask, Frequently labelled 'Blush Gallica', I have a suspicion it may be a hybrid with a Scot's Brier; it is certainly not a typical Damask. It forms a large, very twiggy bush, in time as much as 6 feet high and wide, bearing neat dark leaves, and is well covered in June with multitudes of nodding blooms. They are dark lilac-pink when half open, reflexing into a ball, lilac-white at the edges. A favourite of Gertrude Jekyll's; it grew well in her sandy soil, but has a rather short flowering season.
Bunyard, Plate 30.
