This rose is so striking, particularly the red branches, as described, but most of the pictures do not show red branches. Is there a variation depending on time of year or age of growth that can explain this? Thanks.
How are you going on this one John? Do you still think Comtesse Riza du Parc’? I have noticed some possibles on my way through adding references. The last two were said to have metallic reflexes: 1880. Fiancailles de la Princesse Stephanie 1887. Madame Sophie Stern. 1889. Jeanne Guillaumez
I feel pretty confident that this is Comtesse Riza du Parc now. As far as Jeanne Guillaumez, please look at the rose was given to us from Sintra in Portugal.
