Hi I was hoping someone might be able to help me to confirm or otherwise identify this rose I was given a cutting that came from my 95 year old Grandmothers garden.  She passed away recently and I was told it was Silver LIning (Hybrid Tea) but from most pics I have seen it doesnt look the same.


It is very fragrant and similarly in shape and flower size to Double Delight except dark pink not red. The bush is very healthy and quite vigorous and grows to about 1.2m.


Thanks in anticipation

It may be Spellcaster.

Thanks for your reply. I think Spellcaster is more mauve than my rose, and I dont seem to have the ruffled edges to the petals.  I think its similar to Olympic Torch but it isnt supposed to have much fragrance, where my rose does.

I think this is Fragrant Mauve. Originated in India( Horticaltural Arena).
