Slow growth in its first year and hasn't bloomed much. First flush had five blooms, the second only two. But for scent and beauty, it's nearly unmatched in my garden

Foliage and the growth described by others makes me think there is a strong possibility it came from 'Renaissance'.

This is one of my favorite roses; I now have four bushes. It is stunning in form in all stages, a creamy white with pale yellow or pale pink centers depending on the weather. It is a good bloomer and its fragrance is unmatched!
I was curious about its name....and because it is a Harkness rose, I contacted them to ask if they knew the background on the name and they responded quite quickly. They told me the rose was named in 2005 to celebrate the bicentenary of the Royal Society of Medicine. The use of Chandos House in London was passed to this organization by Lord Chandos in 1963 and they chose to honour his contribution to their work in this way. You can google Chandos House and learn about its history.

I had this rose, purchased from Hortico, and I moved it to a large pot, pruned it and lost it to a Spring freeze. I killed it! This was one of my favorites, so beautiful, possibly the best fragrance MY nose has ever smelled! Currently on a waiting list at Angel Gardens, there are quite few people ahead of me. Why don’t more nurseries carry this tremendous rose? I am in zone 6b NY, humid summers, and CB gets a little BS towards the end of summer. Hopefully Hortico will have it again in the near future. If you are lucky enough to have an opportunity to acquire this beauty, please do so, you won’t regret it.

Completely agree - this is one of the best roses ever in my gardens. I was able to get some cuttings to take when I moved 2 years ago, and also took one plant. They have continued to be outstanding - about as close to the ideal rose as I have seen. Why it isn't used more widely, I really don't know. It is now unvailable anywhere in Canada :(

This one has achieved height of over 7' in one season when budded to a vigorous rootstock in my low desert garden.
Update:
As of July 18, 2023, just measured, tallest cane now tops out at least 10'. This is it's second year.
