Many thanks. We've added this synonym to 'Crepuscule d'été'.

Its scent can be zilch on some days, and very powerful fruit on other days. I don't know which weather brings it out best, but I would say it seems strongest between mid-June and mid-July.

I have some in a vase that I picked this morning right in front of me, along with Buddleia 'Sun Gold' white phlox and 'Reine des Violettes'. It was damp and cool outside early this morning and I couldn't smell anything but in the house they do have a an old rose damask fragrance. I adore stripy roses.

Nice! It's a good one. Let it mature and get fat. It's an easy keeper here.

I usually don't like the gold meets mauve types of russets, but this one looks super cool.

The 'Vintage Book of Roses' says that there are two plants in commerce called 'Duc de Fitzjames', one darker than the other. Mine is lilac pink, similar to the flowers I see in the photos. My plant came from 'La Campanella' in Italy, but I don't know where they got their mother plant. According to Vintage the darker-flowered variety is likelier to be the correct one.

La Campanella has many of their Gallicas from Cour de Commer - the collection of François Joyaux. 'Duc de Fitzjames' in commerce is often 'Mme Lauriol de Barny', a Bourbon rose.

I don't have 'Mme. Lauriol de Barny' in the garden and haven't seen it, at least not identified as such. I took a look at the newest page of photos of this variety on HMF, and, though I haven't made a careful comparison, right now I wouldn't swear that the rose I see in the photos isn't my 'Duc de Fitzjames'. My rose is a good tough variety with opulent blooms, coming easily from cuttings, has never reflowered later in the season, and gets some fungal disease after blooming, though not enough to do it any harm. Lanky in growth; thorny. I'm fond of it, mainly because of the very handsome blooms combined with the ability to flourish in quite poor conditions.

Melissa, it would be very helpful if you could post some photos of your 'Duc de Fitzjames' on HMF.

I'm a reluctant photographer (and this isn't the season anyway). I wanted to add to my description that my 'Duc de Fitzjames' sets hips, which are rounded oval, about 2cm wide and slightly longer, and smooth, the orifice not wide, sepals not persistent. They haven't matured yet so I don't know their color. A final note: my rose has long-lived canes, and suckers out, slowly and not aggressively.
