Not sure which rose this is. But it can only be Frederic Mistral or Paris d'Yves St. Laurent. I'm leaning to it being Fred. The fragrance is awesome!! I've tried looking at HMF, but I still can't tell. :) Thanks! I have full bush shots, but I can't get them to load here on the browse (that's all I know how to do) feature. They're too large of a file.

That is probably Frederic M. The color is right, it should have a strong, sweet fragrance, and outer petals sometimes have that greenish tint. Most characteristic things about this variety are its rampant growth (2x the size of normal HTs) and the spiral centers, not yet visible in your picture. In some weathers there are apricot tones.

Paris d'Ives has ruffled petals.

Thanks!!! I wish I could have posted my full bush picture.

This is an outstanding rose. I just love it!!! Lots of blooms. Amazing fragrance, very healthy and vigorous. Yes it is quite larger than my other roses (all in pots).

And - there are no ruffly edges. But there are spiral centers.

Awesome - thanks!
