Damask (Arabic: دمسق‎) is a reversible figured fabric of silk, wool, linen, cotton, or synthetic fibers, with a pattern formed by weaving. Damasks are woven with one warp yarn and one weft yarn, usually with the pattern in warp-faced satin weave and the ground in weft-faced or sateen weave. Twill damasks include a twill-woven ground or pattern.

We don't know what is causing this, phoned the company's Customer Service rep who was rude, unhelpful and refused to send any more of their items to us. We will receive a refund for both rose bushes. But what we REALLY want is to salvage this one if at all possible. It's an old fashioned variety and is supposed to be hardy for our zone (6) and said to come back year after year.
