I have Comtesse de Noghera and she's way taller than she should be. She's almost 2 meters or seven feet. Her flowers are golden with cream, very beautiful and a strong fragrance is present. She isn't pink or salmon pink so it is correct that the rose in Europe sold as Comtesse de Noghera is in fact Madame Jules Gravereaux. I got mine from Loubert...
Edit: The second flush in much warmer weather gave me light pink to salmon pink flowers. Fragrance is strong Tea with fruity notes

Hi Dianne,
I am looking for cuttings for 2 older hybrid teas I used to have and lost along the way, Century Two and Charlotte Armstrong. I was hoping you still have these roses and if so, if I could please request some cuttings when the time is right? I will of course, cover the shipping costs. Many Thanks, Holly Hagy

Hi! I do still have those roses and am glad to share cuttings. They won't bloom here again until June. If you will contact me again then, I will be glad to send cuttings. I won't remember that long because I get so many requests. Dianne

Hi Diane, if you are still up for sharing those cuttings, I would love to get them. Also, do you have Fair Bianca? I am out of town this weekend but will be back home Monday evening. So, I could be here to receive them in the next week or so… Many thanks and if you are not up for it, I understand. Best, Holly

Hi Holly: yes, next week will be good for sending Century Two and Charlotte Armstrong. I don't grow many Austin roses so no, I don't have Fair Bonica. You can email me your shipping address at dwiley172@gmail.com. Have a great weekend!
Dianne

I think this rose deserves much more attention. It is very healthy and heat resistant, the petals are thick. The deep, rich color persists in any weather condition and the blooms are relatively long lasting even in the strong heat, partially due to the fact that they open slowly. It sets hips. It has viable pollen. The vigor of the plant is excellent; in warmer climates it can easily be a climber if trained so. It can’t withstand a hard frost though, however, if pruned very strongly, almost down to the ground, it recoveres so easily that it seems that no pruning was applied. It gains its usual height in 1-1,5 months after prunung and sets a big number of flower buds. The fragrance is not particulary strong, but it has an unusual feature to leak its fragrance into the air as a whole plant, and if I can feel it in distance, I immediately know which rose is blooming - it is Republique de Montmartre.

Mislabeled. Possibly, another Shaylor peony?
