What a lovely bloom. Is the the true English rose? I have always wanted one of those types of roses. Is it fragrant?

It has the most wonderful perfume! This one was bred in France in 1865. It is best in shade as sunlight scorches the petals and turns them brown. So if your looking for a gem for a shady spot.......

(more info in the database and the Rose Forum)

Looks like fine velvet...sounds wonderful with shade tolerance and great fragrance. Now I have to add it to my list of things I will probably never find to buy....
