Cabbage Rose

Cabbage Rose is an old camellia cultivar noted in historic garden collections, including Monticello. The name suggests a densely petaled, cabbage-like bloom with a full, layered appearance reminiscent of old garden roses. It is generally associated with Camellia japonica types grown for large, ornamental flowers and evergreen foliage. In the absence of more specific cultivar registration details in the provided source, it is best characterized as a historic pink double camellia with a formal, symmetrical bloom and shrub-like habit suitable for ornamental landscape use.
