Insights
Grown in the David Austin nursery, this rose is of unknown origin, thought to have been bred in the 1830s. The name Ispahan is the anglicised version of Isfahan, the ancient city in Iran to the south of Tehran, once the capital of Persia and a crucial trading stop on the Silk Road, it perhaps alludes to how the rose arrived in Europe.
