The French name should be 'Naissance de Vénus'; the goddess is missing her accent...

Isabelle.......
If you click on the REFERENCES tab on the rose page, you will find that they describe the rose with varying shades of pink, from light pink to deep pink. Most agree that it is an atypical alba.

You may still have a mislabeled rose, but if you like it, it doesn't matter. It is possible that you have 'Maiden's Blush' instead of 'New Maiden's Blush'. MB appears to be more white with blush or light pink shading. I haven't grown any albas, so maybe someone from the rose community can give you better information. Check the REFERENCES on 'Maiden's Blush', it's a beautiful rose, no matter how many names it has been known by in rose history.
Smiles,
Lyn

oh, help! I have just found a rose in my garden- it had been kind of hidden behind/under a butterfly bush.
It is either Austin's "Cottage Rose" or "Queen of Denmark." I just Can NOT tell which it is! can anyone give me any hints how to tell which rose it is?

You might want to click the REFERENCES tab on the rose page. You will find some very good descriptions of the rose.

thanks Lyn! very helpful. I think I might have to wait till later in the year, and see if she blooms again. I am almost positive it is QUeen of Denmark, but that is based solely on the scent.

The foliage of both roses is very different. The foliage of QofD is more pointed and not a bit glossy. The leaves are more dentate and the old leaves are dark bluish green.
