Re rugosas: My son recently said that the sweetest smell he knows, because it reminds him of his happy chidlhood, is the smell of rugosas mixed with the smell of chlorine! He explained that it is because the local public swimming pool is surrounded by rugosa hedges. He used to go there every day in summer. Niels, I probably never saw your post, but the Skagen painters mean almost as much to a Swede as to a Dane. It is part of our cultural heritage, too, and several Swedish artists spent time at Skagen. I have just retired from work and almost the last thing I did while still at work was to carry my framed print of a Hammershøi painting to a colleague who had admired it. I know Vilhelm Hammershøi was not a member of the Skagen colony but I somehow connect him to them although he mostly painted interiors. It's something about the light, our very soecial Nordic light. Finland has this same light, of course, and Hanna Pauli captures it in this iconic painting that really appeals to Scandinavians. No rose though. Here is a link that might be useful:

Thanks petaloid, I don't have a very good nose when it comes to roses, but I do remember a scent, just not an overpowering one. Paul

The big cream colored flat rose could be Sombrieul. ...agree with Hot Cocoa too. The others could be English/Austens - he has lors of apricots and pinks. They could probably be a flirist rose too... I think there is white hellebore, penstemon eatonii and some beech leaves in there. That beige thing with the pinky- peach center petals facing inward. almost looks like a strawflower? I wonder if a mum might do that too?? Very pretty whatever it is. Good luck!

You're welcome. Hopefully that IS the correct guess. I think there are a couple other "greenish" flowered roses, but I don't remember the names at the moment.
