‘Mme Zöetmans’: Les rosiers de Damas – blancs et à dominante blanches. Parents non connus. Obtenteur: Marest, 1830. De grosses fleurs parfumées, très doubles, bien rondes, avec un minuscule œil vert… Elles sont portées en bouquets par des tiges souples, vertes et peu épineuses, qu’il faut soutenir car elles finissent par s’affaisser sous leurs poids. La plante n’est pas très vigoureuse. Elle réclame une bonne exposition et il faut s’astreindre à couper les fleurs fanées qui se dépouillent mal et peuvent altérer un spectacle charmant.

Approximate translation:
‘Mme Zöetmans’: Damascus roses – white and predominantly white. Parents not known. Breeder: Marest, 1830. Large, fragrant flowers, very double, very round, with a tiny green eye... They are carried in bouquets by flexible, green and not very thorny stems, which must be supported because they end up sagging under their weight. The plant is not very vigorous. It requires good exposure and you must be careful to cut off the faded flowers which shed poorly and can spoil a charming spectacle

'Mme. Zoetmans'. Moreau, France, 1836. The flowers are very much like those of the Gallica 'Duchesse de Montebello', but are much paler; they quickly fade almost to white with a faint blush centre, and are full-petalled with button eyes. The leaves are of fresh green, as opposed to those of the 'Duchesse de Montebello' which are grey-green. Early flowering. Graceful and free, growing to 4 feet. This has proved a first-rate variety. Thomas 1991, page 63.

Damask... rather like 'Madame Hardy' and came out at the same time (in 1830). In its day, its admirers thought it superior, but in the years since it has been rather eclipsed by its rival... Raiser: Marchet or Marest.

Madame Zoetmans (opposite). Good old Saponaria ocymoides, an engaging, floriferous romper, usually grown on rock gardens, is equally at home in any well drained soil. It is a native of the Alps and Pyrenees and loves full sunshine. It's sheaves of pink flowers blend very happily with the Damask Rose 'Madame Zoetmans'  which owns to a faint blush over her white petals. The petals are many, densely, filling the sumptuous flowers, and are usually quartered and with button eyes. The growth is short, to about 3 feet (90 cm), but is inclined to be floppy and repays the support of three or four stout stakes  2 feet (60 cm) out of the ground, connected with horizontals at the top, over which the stems can gracefully hang.
