No I didn't - there was a new reply to the thread in the last 2 days that had been added, and then the next time I looked it had vanished.

Does anyone else find it very surprising and interesting that this rose seems (according to the lineage tab) to be able to semi-regularly produce repeat flowering offspring?

These first generation offspring of 'Maiden's Blush' are mostly recent cultivars. The question is then whether it was really the true 'Maiden's Blush' which was used. I have heard discussions that in Germany there has been some confusion with 'Duchesse de Montebello'.

Good point! I too have heard that there is some confusion about 'Small Maiden's Blush' and 'Duchesse de Montebello', and whether they are one and the same in some places.

Having said that, I see that Alba Maxima is also listed as having been the pollen parent of a rose which does some repeating, so who knows!

Our 'Maiden's Blush' listing is for both Great and Small Maiden's Blush, as apparently no one can really with certainty tell them apart and there are question marks whether the latter still exists.

'Duchesse de Montebello' carries the gene for repeat-flowering. David Austin told me that he used it early in his breeding, though I think 'Chaucer' was the only seedling he introduced. And Davide dalla Libera has been using it recently. I have never heard of a first-generation remontant seedling of 'Maiden's Blush'.

Great maiden blush is a rose that attracts cetonias (Oxythyrea funesta). The base is very bare. Very bare shrub of leaves. At 24-25 degrees the scent is very sweet and intense.
I do not recommend this rose in the plains of northern Italy because it is always infested with this insect. Even 4/5 individuals per flower.
