I have grown two Clouds of Glory (grafted) for over five years. It is a wonderful rose and has never shown any sign of disease even though I never spray it. It grows vigorously and blooms generously almost all year round in coastal southern California. The roses are massive, over five inches across, and are a beautiful shade of white with a hint of porcelain pink in the center. They last four to five days on the bush and are consistently strongly fragrant. It has few prickles and grows to about five feet tall. I highly recommend this gorgeous and healthy rose from Jackson & Perkins.

But you don't need to go through Flickr - once you've posted a message here, an Add Photo button appears on the right.

Oh, heavens, let's see if that's something I've been missing for YEARS? Yes, sorry! Thank you Margaret. I AM blind, not to mention less than observant. I honestly have never paid attention to that. Guess I should delete my "dumb post"! Thanks!

It took me a while to find it, too!
The photos look pinker than I'm used to seeing Crepuscule.

It's quite pretty! But, it looks more like Felicia to me.

The colour is close for Felicia, but Felicia usually comes in quite generous clusters/ trusses of smallish blooms and is reasonably well armed.
What is the fragrance like?
Do you know whether the colour and form of the bloom varies greatly at different times of the year?
How wide would you say the bloom is?
Does the rose set hips readily?

hi, the flowers I saw were between 2.5-3". as to fragrance, I'm not very good at describing, other than sweet or divine. This belongs to a neighbor and I'm not near the rose daily to notice characteristics more closely. In fact, this is the first time I've notice such abundance of blooms. I greatly appreciate your help and know more people can't do more, with limited info I'm providing. Only thing I can say (respectfully) for sure is that this person accepted suggestions from a reputable nursery, bought and planted. So the cultivars will be mostly mainstream. Nothing wrong w/ that, just sayin'.

I'd love to see any extra photos you take over the seasons.
Did you take these pics recently? - if yes, then these are winter blooms or the blooms-that-come-after-the-first -decent-rain-for-a-long-time!?

Looks a lot like Reve D'Or to me!

I suspect it is Madame Alfred Carriere. She is also a fragrant noisette and has few thorns.
