can somebody pls comment about thorns on Crepuscule. I'm trying to ID my neighbor's apricot climber which has few to average thorns, nothing that will rip you to shreds. thanks.

But you don't need to go through Flickr - once you've posted a message here, an Add Photo button appears on the right.

Oh, heavens, let's see if that's something I've been missing for YEARS? Yes, sorry! Thank you Margaret. I AM blind, not to mention less than observant. I honestly have never paid attention to that. Guess I should delete my "dumb post"! Thanks!

It took me a while to find it, too!
The photos look pinker than I'm used to seeing Crepuscule.

It's quite pretty! But, it looks more like Felicia to me.

you're right. It sure does look like Felicia.

The colour is close for Felicia, but Felicia usually comes in quite generous clusters/ trusses of smallish blooms and is reasonably well armed.
What is the fragrance like?
Do you know whether the colour and form of the bloom varies greatly at different times of the year?
How wide would you say the bloom is?
Does the rose set hips readily?

hi, the flowers I saw were between 2.5-3". as to fragrance, I'm not very good at describing, other than sweet or divine. This belongs to a neighbor and I'm not near the rose daily to notice characteristics more closely. In fact, this is the first time I've notice such abundance of blooms. I greatly appreciate your help and know more people can't do more, with limited info I'm providing. Only thing I can say (respectfully) for sure is that this person accepted suggestions from a reputable nursery, bought and planted. So the cultivars will be mostly mainstream. Nothing wrong w/ that, just sayin'.

I'd love to see any extra photos you take over the seasons.
Did you take these pics recently? - if yes, then these are winter blooms or the blooms-that-come-after-the-first -decent-rain-for-a-long-time!?

I suspect it is Madame Alfred Carriere. She is also a fragrant noisette and has few thorns.

I planted what was sold to me as cl perles de jardins. I put it against a three rung wood fence and after two years it hasn't even topped the lowest board. Is this a slow climber or could I have the shrub ?

This is most probably 'Mlle Franziska Krüger', which is often sold as 'Souv. d'Elise Vardon'.

The green pointel is often found in 'Mlle. Franziska Kruger'.

I transplanted mine last fall and it quickly turned brown. As of today, it continues to be brown and I wonder if it will come from the roots. I live in houston area zone 9a, have never had a rose go "dormant". can't bear to think it dead. Except for this one, have never lost a rose due to transplant. Your commnets will be appreciated.
