I have grown both 'Pergolèse' and 'Rose de Rescht', both on their own roots, for several decades. While the blossoms are quite similar--not lookalikes, but quite similar--and both bloom gratifyingly throughout the year, 'Pergolèse' sends out suckers and runners with some frequency, and 'Rose de Rescht' never does, absolutely never (I wish it would!). (Before anyone says, "But my 'Rose de Rescht' sends out suckers abundantly!", be aware that it appears that many who have what they think is 'Rose de Rescht' actually have the suckering 'Rose du Roi'.) Also, 'Pergolèse' is taller, branches less, and has a looser, more open, habit than the bushy 'Rose de Rescht'.

My 'Pergolese', bought from a Canadian company, now closed, some years back, does repeat bloom. It stays short and, I rather think, it would prefer a less heavy soil.

I have definitely the rose on the right side as Rose de Rescht. Not the left-one... And it suckers!
And definitely not Rose du Roi.

In the description is written:
"The pollen parent is almost certainly Rosa pimpinellifolia 'plena', known as 'Juhannusruusu' in Finland. Very few hips, suggesting that it is triploid. Does not produce pollen."
To me that doesn't make sense.

The second sentence seems to refer to 'Helvi', not the pollen parent.

That would indeed make sense. I misunderstood what was meant, the way it was written.
