3 to 5 feet

Perhaps the most sought after of Damask roses, 'Kazanlik' or 'Trigintipetala' is grown in quantity in Bulgaria, a country which still exports a great deal of the worlds rose attar. The flowers are deep pink, with thirty petals arranged in a somewhat shaggy halo around golden stamens. The dark green shrub is vigorous and not as open as in some varieties of Damasks.
