    Mrs Norman Watson, contrary to claims, has a sweet mild scent, well worth sniffing. Once flowering in October only, alas.

    Does it throw out a few flowers in autumn? Early newspaper articles on the Autumn Rose Shows report it was exhibited then, and there's even a photo of an autumn bloom in the file here.

    Reply soon; my spies are out. May I say irrelevantly that it has many beautiful blooms, formally symmetrical and facing up. They are at sniffing height. I never see it without deeply admiring it.

    Thank you. Yes, it's very beautiful.

    The spies say it has an "autumn flush", just as you said.

    Thank you, that's good to know!
