Celsiana at a glance
Rosa ‘Celsiana’ brings the charm of old rose gardens to life. This historic Damask rose dates back to around 1750. Its original breeder is unknown, but according to the history described by Lens, it may have come from the Low Countries. A rose with possibly Dutch or Belgian roots, admired for centuries.
Its name pays tribute to Jacques-Martin Cels, the French nurseryman who introduced it in France as ‘Belle Couronnée’. The name Celsiana is associated with the descriptions by Claude-Antoine Thory, who provided the text for Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s famous rose illustrations. Thus, the history of nurseries and botanical art come together in a single rose.
The large, semi-double flowers appear in small clusters. They open soft pink and fade to almost white, with golden-yellow stamens as a radiant centre. Their rich old-rose fragrance makes the single summer flowering all the more special. With its graceful growth and grey-green foliage, Celsiana is a beautiful fit for a romantic border or informal rose hedge. Bees also know how to find its open flowers
