Insights
This rose was bred by the renowned David Austin family in 2001 and named after Theobald I Navarre, Count of Champagne, who was famous for his poetry and for leading the Baron’s Crusade to the Holy Land in 1239. Theobald returned with a damascene rose in his helmet, then named Provins, but also known as the apothecary’s rose or rosa gallica, and it spread across Europe.
