I wonder if anyone growing this could compare it to 'Belle Amour'. It's hard to find photos of "Fairmount Semi-Double" anywhere beyond the High Country Roses website.

The HCR pictures sure look like Belle Amour. I might have to buy one this year.

I also strongly suspect that their "High Country Banshee" is identical to another Colorado found rose "Graveyard Alba", which seems to have disappeared from sight and never was in commerce. I think it has pretty well been determined that HCR's "Jeremiah Pink" is Banshee. Beautiful and huuge bush, wonderful display if you have room for it.

I will be posting some pics of FSD soon.

I can see how you could think they look similar from some of the pics. However, in real life Bell Amour has a warmer color. Some say coral or peach but I wouldn't go that far. Also, BA bloom is smaller and more double, has the myrrh scent, and its canes are much thornier. FSD is hardier.
