Maybe William Paul's 'Enchantress' from 1896?? It's a bit hard to tell much from a couple of photos, so just a guess. It does seem to have a slightly buff centre as in the 'Enchantress' references.

One reference said Vigorous, but no suggestion that it was a climber as such. Mine doesn't yet, but some Teas are like that - you don't always get a climber from a cutting.

I was wondering too about the scent. I've never smelt 'Mme Joseph Schwartz' but if it is the same as 'Comtesse de Labarthe' (which I find has a very distinct, almost unique fragrance) that ought to be a defining factor to determine if "Evandale Library Rose" is 'Mme Joseph Schwartz'.
By the way, I just found and posted an illustration of Paul's 'Enchantress'.

Thanks for doing that. I've posted a photo showing the colour variability of this rose.

Thanks Margaret. I think the bud construction looks different between the two roses. Do they both smell the same? And is the scent the same as 'Comtesse de Labarthe'?

I didn't pick much difference but I don't have a trained nose. Ozoldroser didn't either. Will have to ask Billy when she's over this way.
