Yesterday, I found one more bloom of the sport/hybrid. I tied a string to the cane, so I can find it later. I cut the bloom and photographed it on the stem and as a closeup front and side. It was a 2 inch diameter and shaped like a zinnia pompom bloom. The leaflets are alternate. Leaf veins are mostly opposite, with some alternate. It is FRAGRANT! Then I counted petals. This was a fresh, pink bloom, not dried up and brown like the last two. I counted 185 petals!!! This is a more accurate count, as the previous counts were of dried up brown blooms that may have dropped some petals. I also counted the "typical" r. gallica officinalis bloom. I got 75 petals for it, which is more than the 20 suggested by Taylor's Rose Guide. Note this year's set of blooms are about 2 inches in diameter and they are smaller than two years ago in the photo (which are about 3.5 inches.) I shot photos this year and will try to post, but do not have electronic copies yet. I will try to move this to Antique Rose Forum, but not sure how to do that.

Vintage doesn't use rootstocks so it cannot be a failed graft. I really like the look of that rose and would love to know what it is. That is a really beautiful stripe pattern, rich and subtle and velvety. I do think, though, that you ought to try again for R. moschata. Mine is on my short list of favorite roses. The scent is wonderful, and the bloom lasts for months. Rosefolly

Yes! They bloomed about 1-2 weeks earlier this year. But they are all still there.

Compte de Chanbord might be the father??? It is on the left. R. gallica Offic is center and right. The new hybrid is in the midst of r gallica Offic and is center and bottom of blooms. There is one new hybrid bloom by a leaf, at center and bottom.
