Charles de Mills is a gallica, which is in the old garden rose group. It is believed to have been introduced pre 1780, but the history of this rose is just that, history. No background information.
A rose that is great to grow in areas that get a winter, not so great in mild to no winter areas. It blooms in the spring. Here in Oregon it often blooms mid May.
It is the first old garden rose that I grew and it is my favorite rose. It also is really easy to propagate. It sends out suckers, which can be dug up.
