Not the best picture I've ever taken. I found this rose some years ago in my grandmother's garden. I always thought it was 'The Bishop' but the leaves are far too rough and puckered. It grows about 1 metre high blooms once and suckers and has very scented flowers.

Have a look at the file called "Mrs. Something"

Thanks Patricia, that is particularly interesting. Back in April I found a scrap of a rose growing by a ruined cottage that has leaves very similar to 'Mrs Something', "the soft leaf texture is pale green, darkening with age and sometimes having a hint of blue and reddish margins", they also have a distinct puprlish sheen to their puckerred surface. But the stems are cover in red prickles in the manner of 'Barrone Prevost' and like B P it has thin smooth stipules. Found in thick woodland, I doubt it had flowered for almost a century, already it has made four very vigorous growths, I am just TOO impatient waiting for it to bloom again!
