	Damask Roses as Written by Thomas Rivers, 1854
		The "Damask Rose" is a name familiar to every reader of English poetry, as it has been eulogized more than any other rose, and it colour described with poet's license.
		The branches of the Damask rose are green, long, and diffuse in their growth; leaves pubescent, and in general placed far asunder; prickles on most varietiesabundant.
		This is not a pure Damask rose, as its leaves have scarcely any pubescence; but a more magnificent rose does not exist, for its luxurious habit and large and finely shaped flowers place it quite first among the white roses: its flowers are, however, too often disfigured by a green bud in the centre.

	Ellen Willmott's Damask Roses
		The frequent use of the word Damask in connection with Roses by writers of the sixteenth century, including Lyte and Shakespeare, makes it certain that some Rose supposed to have some from Damascus was well known in England at that time.
		Hakluyt says expressly that the Damask Rose was brought in "by Doctour Linaker, King Henry the seuenth and King Henrie the eight's Physician"(1); and Johnson, writing in the Dictionary of Gardening on the plants which were to be found in English gardens in the sixteenth century, adds that Dr. Linacre brought it from Italy (2).
		It is strange that the Damask Rose should have been passed over by Linnaeus, although he had a specimen in his herbarium, and it is one of the Roses most frequently mentioned by the pre-Linnaean writers.
