This rose is very similar to another hybrid rugosa x gallica from the same epoch, I mean 'Rugosa Repens Rosea' (Smith, 1904). Is there any difference between those two varieties or is it the same rose ?
It could exists a mixing among collections/nurseries, so it could be great if a reliable expert could enlighten us..

I‘m just a grower of Lady Curzon, the flower petals on the other one look less crinkled sometimes and posses a more salmon-like pink when freshly opened. By their disclosed parentage they should be similar somehow, that they are when comparing those few photos of the other rose. Real closure could only be provided by genetic analysis i guess. But i would rather grow a lady…

Possibly, if you are open to making a deal with your local, ahem, alternative businessperson.

Don't. The risk isn't worth it. If you could see how chilli thrips have nearly destroyed rose-growing in Western Australia in the last four years, you would know that it's in all our interests to keep pests out of places they haven't reached yet.

Oh I know there are big reasons for the phyto certs I was joking. We are already dealing with lantern flies and a hoard of other invasive species. No flower is worth the jail and environmental issues.

Honestly, I am glad you did. :) There are plenty of people who may not know why we have import and export laws and regulations. Better a nice an informative comment than a bigger mess. This is why I LOVE this forum and recite so much. I also learned about the thrip situation in Australia from you.

Only Western Australia so far. We hope the mainly-desert along the southern part of the border will keep them from spreading, but presumably they could hitch a ride on vehicles.

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
