Hi all,
I'm looking to identify an HT rose with possibly better scent than PB and in a more orange-pink tone. At least 5 feet tall, the ageing plant was growing against an exposed South-facing shed in Norfolk, UK prior to 2010. Its lightweight, colourfast blooms were borne on 5-7 inch very slim, prickly, green, peduncles of 2s and 3s as well as singularly. The lantern-shaped flowers, only 3.5 inches wide by 4 inches tall, kept their spiralling forms with rolled, reflexed petals (not flattening out into wavy discs like PB or 'Duke of Windsor') - until petal drop after 5-8 days from cutting.
When placed in a vase of water the scent production was off the charts, of strawberry, raspberry, zero spice and a hint of lime. One flower could more than perfume a room.
I invite readers to suggest what rose it might have been....?
