If you know the parentage of this rose, or other details, please contact us.
Notes:
The inflorescences have a charming lax habit and the petals are slightly crumpled, translucent and nice to see with the light throug them. Stamens are very showy and prominent partly because of the reflexing petals. The scent is very strong, a little bit like Houttuynia cordata or wild ginger (Asarum canadense) roots. The hips are interesting too. Possibly a seedling of 'Fantin Latour'.
