Or maybe reverting to 'Mme Joseph Schwartz'?

Wow. Thanks for that suggestion! I will do some reading and ask John Nieuwesteeg, its propagator.

I have just been to the Mme Joseph Schwartz page, where there is a picture of Mme JS reverting back to Duchesse de Brabant! I am laughing with wonder and admiration at the cunning elusiveness of this rose. It looks like such a delicate, retiring thing [compared for instance to Mme Isaac Pereire, who's growing at the back of the same bed with it] but its personality is more like Brer Rabbit :D
Whatever it's sporting to and from, I'll hang onto it. It has loads of character and is the most beautiful shape :)
