Answer: Option A
Solution:
A variety of Damask rose released by NBRI is Noor Jahan. This variety is developed by crossing Rosa with Damascena. It is a hybrid rose derived from Rosa Gallica and Rosa Moschata.
The French Crusader Robert de Brie, who took part in the Siege of Damascus in 1148 during the second crusade, is sometimes credited for bringing the Damask rose from Syria to Europe. The name of the rose refers to the city of Damascus in Syria, known for its steel (Damask steel), fabrics (Damask) and roses.
