The rain tolerance is zero, I've never seen a flower from mine in four years, every single one ball and rot, so shovel with it.

HMF has many photos of Lamarque with plenty of flowers. I wonder if your rose was correctly identified.

Mine came from Loubert, I believe it is the correct id, for what I can see of the buds that I forced to open by unglueing petals, I have a rain season that goes from fall to early summer.

Loubert's website states for this rose: Très parfumée.
HMF states a moderate lemon, tea fragrance. I tend to agree with HMF as for fragrance.
Question is: Is the Loubert rose the right-one?

Jay-Jay I'm waiting for a bud to open so I can smell it, for what I recall of the buds i unglued the petals on, it was not that fragant, then again parfum is subjective often, and it would not be the first misidentified rose in Loubert collection.

So I finally got two buds to open in a dry spell, it does have a slight lemon parfum.

That would fit the description on HMF and would support my experience as for fragrance with this rose.

My own root plant from John and Becky Hook (former Roseraie du Désert) behaves well and the flowers do not ball. We live in a wet climate. Other roses do ball in our garden. A combination of rain and Botrytis. The latter abundantly present, because of the fruit-trees.

Does anyone have experience of the rain tolerance of this rose? I seem to remember that it balls in the rain.

I met Jyl and Alan Atmore, of Santa Paula, CA, in the mid 1990's, when they visited a Ventura Co. Rose Society rose show at the Ventura Co. Museum of History and Art. I was "sitting" the information table.

They told me that they had a "family" rose, which had been brought from Placerville to Ventura County in 1869. It was still growing at the family home, a "wedding cake" Victorian in Santa Paula, built by their ancestors, Richard and Ambrosia Atmore. They wondered if we could tell them what it was. I cautioned them that there were many, many roses which simply cannot be matched to a historic identity, but said that I was very interested.

The next day, they returned to the show, bringing with them a big armload of frothy lemon-white blooms.

I caught my breath, and flipped open my copy of "Landscaping With Antique Roses" (Druit/Shoup, 1992) to page 161, for a perfect match to the roses they were carrying. 'Lamarque' -- (1830).

IF ARE is still using the same clone of 'Lamarque' that they had in the 1990's, it's a very good match (at least in appearance) to the Atmore family's rose.

The REALLY good news is that the "Atmore 'Lamarque'" has been ELISA tested (late 2015; per. Dr. Manners) and is found to be free of the viruses that tests for -- the ones most-commonly afflicting U.S. roses. That fact substantiates the oral history we have for this clone of 'Lamarque'.
