According to the HMF description, Madame Moser has 25 -40 petals. It is an extremely full rose, and the actual petal count is 125!!

Thank you! We generally follow the references, which speak about a full rose. Based on your mail and all photos we modified the description to "very full"

The pics are of a rose that was imported to Australia in the 1980s, but I'm told it's incorrect. Looks very HP-ish. In my garden it is a mongrel - over a hot dry summer (with adequate watering), only one of its buds opened. Strong fragrance with some myrrh. I don't know what it is.

Margaret,
This is a HP by Alcide Vigneron, the son of Jacques Vigneron. So your pictures may be right after all.

That makes sense. In Australia, it was being sold as a Tea, which it clearly isn't. Not a climber in my garden, either. I'm not sure that I still have those photos - I may have thrown them out, along with the rose plant - can you transfer them to the Mme Moser file from the Q & A file?

May I suggest to upload your pictures on the plant's page? (otherwise they will be attributed to myself rather than you).

Fortunately Patricia R had kept a copy of the flower pic, so I've uploaded it.
Trevor Nottle lists it as a Bourbon in "Growing Old-fashioned Roses in Australia and New Zealand", 1983, p 56, with a description.
