Hi Behcet

I suggest that you contact Daphne Whitfort-Smith . Daphne is involved with the New Zealand group that has accumulated a list of rare and unknown 'found' roses in New Zealand. They have identified it as Melanie Soubert . I suggest that you giver her some information on yourself
. She is one of the world experts on species roses and is responsible for the species rose collection in Timaru Botanical Garden.

David

Hi David, Yes I looked at all pictures, and we have several from the period - 'Mélanie Soupert' is light yellow with pink highlights and double. This Climbing Rose looks more like 'Souvenir de Malmaison Clg' with a whiff of apricot.	REPLY
