Bred in England before 1827, Leda is a very fragrant Damask Rose with double blooms of milk-white, at times tinted with just a hint of pale pink. Her petal edges are irregularly dipped in crimson-red to raspberry pink creating a striking contrast. Leda is a compact, once blooming plant with grey-green foliage which occasionally surprises with a fall flush. She makes a great cut flower as well.
