Two are a dark pink color with one having a big double bloom and the other one single, one is a light pink and white mixed with the fourth flower being white. All four cuttings have buds or early blooms on the stalks. The Rosa Gallica is a species of the rose family that is native to southern and central Europe and on to the east to Turkey and the Caucasus. They are a deciduous shrub with lots of greenery, the stems have thrones and bristles. The flowers are clustered one to four together with fragrance and a deep pink in color. The species is easily cultivated preferring well rained soil in full sun to part shade. This is an old cultivar being grown by the Ancient Greeks and Romans and was commonly used in the medieval gardens of Europe.
