Blooming once in midseason, Gallica rose Tuscany is an old, old rose. Referenced as Velvet Rose by the herbalist Gerard in 1596, Tuscany bears semi-double flowers of dark, rich, red. Golden stamens complete the picture. A larger version, ‘Tuscany Superb’ (also known as ‘Superb Tuscan’ and ‘Superb Tuscany’) is often found in Old Rose nurseries.
