"Zalud House Shingled Raspberry" rose Reviews & Comments

|
I stumbled upon this rose during one of my many "obsessive late-night searches", and something about it seemed familiar. Then I thought of 'September Morn' -- except that rose is much paler. But I then remembered that 'September Morn' is a sport of something else, and looked that rose up.
So, to get to the point, has anyone compared this rose to 'Mme Pierre Euler'? There aren't many pics of that rose, so for other details, I suppose looking at pics of 'September Morn' could suffice for comparison.

One argument against this being 'Mme Pierre Euler' would be the strong scent it's described as having (also mentioned for sport 'September Morn'). "Zalud" has close to none in warmer weather and only a faint bit of some in the coolest weather (it surprised me that what scent there is was more detectable in January than in April). But, maybe that's just my nose. I'm wondering if anyone else can comment on the scent. Otherwise, leaves, flowers, etc. -- maybe. Unfortunately, it looks like SJHRG no longer has either MPE or SM (from their current list) so I could go compare. I did donate two plants of "Zalud" to them last month.

The Friends of Vintage Roses Collection are listing ‘Mme. Pierre Euler’. Could you ask one or two of those volunteers to do some sniffing?
I’ve added your height of 4 feet to the main page, as well as the two possible identifications.

I dont think it is MPE. I have MPE in my garden (ex Guillot): MPE has an etreme strong scent, the color is more uniform and the thorns are more and smaller...

I wonder if this is 'Clara Barton' (Van Fleet/Conard & Jones, 1898)...? While it quickly becomes a solid and beautiful pure pink in my Southern California garden, I note that, for a time as it opens, the blossom can have a definite warm coral or apricot glow. The color and form of the flower, the tendency for the blossoms to come in twos or threes (see the ancestry of 'Clara Barton'), and the fact that the leaves come right up to the peduncles, are all consonant with 'Clara Barton'. Whatever it is, it's a beautiful and worthy rose!
