Thank you! We generally follow the references, which speak about a full rose. Based on your mail and all photos we modified the description to "very full"
The pics are of a rose that was imported to Australia in the 1980s, but I'm told it's incorrect. Looks very HP-ish. In my garden it is a mongrel - over a hot dry summer (with adequate watering), only one of its buds opened. Strong fragrance with some myrrh. I don't know what it is.
That makes sense. In Australia, it was being sold as a Tea, which it clearly isn't. Not a climber in my garden, either. I'm not sure that I still have those photos - I may have thrown them out, along with the rose plant - can you transfer them to the Mme Moser file from the Q & A file?
Fortunately Patricia R had kept a copy of the flower pic, so I've uploaded it. Trevor Nottle lists it as a Bourbon in "Growing Old-fashioned Roses in Australia and New Zealand", 1983, p 56, with a description.
