I'm told that the rose grown in Australia as Baltimore Belle is the same as the photos of the one at Roses Loubert, but is different from the one grown in the US.

Margaret, I've tried to find that photo of Loubert's, but not had any luck. Have you managed to find it? Do you have any photo's of the rose grown in Australia?

The Loubert rose is definitely not the rose we grow in the USA.

I can photograph my plant when the gale stops but of course it's not flowering. In bloom it looked very much like a larger-flowered version of Felicite-Perpetue. (The comment on ID came from G and P.)

Thank you Jedmar, Cass and Margaret. I now know exactly where to plant mine - on the fence and fairly near to the Felicite-Perpetue, which came from the creeks around Nannup, WA.

According to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation it was William Prince and his son William Rogers Prince of Flushing, New York who hybridized Baltimore Belle. See
