I wish I did know the name of this rose… the perfume is just heavenly and I would love to have another half dozen bushes around the garden! I grows by the front door and when we step outside on a summer’s evening its scent is divine.




It’s a very long time since I read ‘Name of the Rose’ by Umberto Eco… maybe time for a re-read!

Sorry I can’t help with the name, but I bet the perfume is divine.

Lovely shot of the opening rose. Is there a local horticulture (or rose-specialist) society to help you identify it?

I ave tried but there are just so many roses now available, and many are so similar… never mind, I shall enjoy it and enjoy sniffing roses in garden centers to find its twin!
