My Abraham Darby has some blooms that resemble the mystery rose but not enough petals.

It is funny; when I first saw the original post, I thought there would be dozens of roses that would fit the description, but there aren't at all!

I agree with you, Porkpal. I thought there would be plenty of roses shaped like this one, but there doesn't seem to be.

The ones I've found the most of that seem close are old-fashioned roses. I started following a 'Cecile Brunner' trail.....I haven't yet finished.

Maybe a "mystery" rose is called that for a very good reason.
