One-hundred and forty years ago a seedling of Rosa persica, the hulthemia rose, was
brought to the Luxembourg Gardens from her desert home in Iran and the
surrounding area. Today they are available in hybrids – usually shrub roses,
but they can be floribundas. Their central distinguishing feature and what
attracted western hybridizers, is their eye.
Most of them are named with reference to their eye or their area of
origin, Persia or Babylon. Thus I invite you to look into the eyes of Rosa persica and know the meaning of
beauty.
