Hello friends,

First time post! I was touring our local rose garden and came across this beautiful rose with a gorgeous scent. Sadly, it was unmarked and the local Rose Society does not provide a map of this garden. Can you all help?

It probably could be any of a hundred or more roses, but it reminds me of Myriam, which also has a strong fragrance.

It kind of looks like my Quietness.

It's similar to Quietness in coloring, and Quietness also has a strong fragrance, but Quietness blooms in clusters, and there are no clusters visible in Milljame's picture.

Now that my new 'Summer Romance' has opened, I think it looks like it.

Mystery solved, friends! This enigmatic and beautiful rose is called Francis Meilland.

Can't wait to add it to my garden!!

Thanks for your kind responses and guesses .

That's great! I love it when a mystery rose gets identified.
