'Comte de Chambord' is a genuinely old Damask rose, first introduced in 1860, and it has been hugely successful ever since.

The huge lilac-pink flowers that grow to 10cm (4in) across are fully double and absolutely packed with petals, bursting open in from June to September, and as you'd expect from an old rose, they have the most sublime, sweet and heady fragrance. Supplied as a freshly potted, professional quality plant in a 3L pot, growing to a height of 1.2m (4ft) and a width of 90cm (3ft).
