The single rose campion has long been an inhabitant of the English Gardens, where, by its seeds having scattered it has become a kind of a weed. There are three varieties of this plant, one with deep red, another that is flesh colored and a third with white flowers, but the double rose campion is held in the highest esteem and has turned the other varieties out of most of the better English Gardens.
