    Bush rose, any ideas? Pics taken at various stages from just opened to full blown. Scented but not strong.

    Ferdinand Pichard, Camaieux [grey/green foliage], and Rosa Mundi are all described as strong fragrance. Christopher Columbus is described as slightly fragrant. Surprisingly, there are quite a lot of stripey red/ pink or red/ white roses!

    Thanks Liz. I had a closer look at it during the day and the leaf is a green/grey colour and the stems and leaves are virtually thornless. Not smooth or glossy but have a roughish sandpaper feel to them rather than thorns.

    Camaeiux has the foliage and it's stems are described as more hairy than thorny, but everywhere says good fragrance. :confused:
    Also says arching stems.
    It's a lovely rose whatever it is!

    Saw this glorious rose to-day....no idea what it is but looks good value if you have the space.
