This plant appears to be Cl Maman Cochet and not Chromatella. See the member's comment section where there is a discussion about Beales' clone of Chromatella.

Thanks jannorcal - yes I am aware of this controversy. It appears that the Beale's clone marketed as 'Cloth of Gold' is not what it seems. Interestingly though there is an old plant at Monserrate that is identical with the Beale's clone. 'Cloth of Gold' is one of the few roses for which we have documented evidence of cultivation. The rose in the photograph was photographed at Miguel Albuquerque's Rosarium at Quinta do Arco - Madeira. I have yet to ask him if it was obtained from Peter Beales as seems likely.
