Continuing a thread from "What Is This" Rafael, Yes, these are infrastipular prickles. It seems it also produces prickles elsewhere on the older wood - your photo 309122.
I found the rose growing in a hedgerow where an old cottage once stood. Before I saw it in flower I thought it was 'The D'orsay Rose'. When the blooms opened it was obviously different. HMF set up a study page 'Bissett Cottage Rose' and I was contacted by other members who believed it was actually R. cinnamomea 'Plena'. http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.75130&tab=1
Hmmmmm you're right it has green stems, So what do you think my rose could be? I have to say it does not look that similar to any of the parents of 'Thérèse Bugnet'.
Andrew, I think that your "Bisset Cottage Rose" is indeed 'Rosa cinnamomea plena', I saw it some years ago in Sangerhausen Rosarium, and the plant and flowers are identical, I will try to find some photos i take there, and add to your BCR page, to compare
Hello Jay-Jay, I think my rose is not R. amblyotis, if you look at the stipules, this in "Raff Majalis" are big and round, in R. amblyotis are thin and red, in "RM" are green, the leaves are not so big like in amblyotis, and have not so many leaflets, only 3 to 7. The clusters of buds are initially covered by bracts and the stipules of leaves. The leaves of "RM" are more dark green grey bluish than Amblyotis leaves. The hips in amblyotis are round, in "RM" are "turbinate"
