Roses

I bought a rose in the belief that it was "Uncle Walter"


However, when it flowered I got this..........










A white floribunda rose with a lovely, heavy scent.

Any ideas which rose it is, anyone??? @woo

 

Hello @ARMANDII just an outside chance it could be "Princess of Wales"

I think you've nailed it, Woo It may not be the Rose I thought I had bought but it's plentiful, large, heavily scented flowers are truly glorious........so I'm not complaining
Thank you for your expertise and knowlege.

Fryer's Roses says Princess of Wales has creamy buds that when fully open are pure white...


For each 'Princess of Wales' rose sold through their 1998/1999 catalog, Harkness made a donation to the British Lung Foundation.


[From the American Rose, November 1998, p. 16:] The Princess of Wales was introduced in England in Spring 1997 by Harkness & Co... [it was] named and presented to Princess Diana in honor of her 10 years of work with the British Lung Foundation.

 

Thanks for that, Woo. I'm not just interested in the colour and scent of a rose, I like to know the history and origins of them so that was very useful so thank you again.
