| I am hoping one of you will recognize this beautiful flower. It looks like a hybrid musk to me, not 100% sure but it does resemble (and smell like) other HMs I've grown. It reblooms well, very hardy, about 4-5 feet tall, foliage very clean, and the flowers have a really sweet, strong, lovely fragrance. Your thoughts appreciated! Thank you. |

| If you can post pictures of the leaves, prickles, and hips, the experts on here will be more able to tell you. Jackie |

| - and how large are the blooms? |
|
| The blooms are not large, less than 2 inches across. |

| To be honest, it reminds me most of 'White Cecile Brunner.' See below: Jeri |

| This is just a wild guess, as I do not grow her, but your photo reminds me of the Allister Stella Gray I saw growing at the Antique Rose Emporium near Brenham, TX last year. The palnt was grown as a shrubby bush when I saw it. Some of the photos on HMF show a much darker colored rose, and some a nearly white rose. |

| 'White Cecile Brunner' is a good guess, and that was one I thought it might be - " but plantloverkat just reminded me that I did own 'Alister Stella Gray,' and lost track of it, and I think this is the rose. Looking at photos of both, it more resembles 'ASG' overall. The bud is exactly the same, and the flower, although more golden-looking in most of the photos (on HelpMeFind, anyway), also looks right. This is a good argument for TAGGING YOUR PLANTS. Especially since my roses are currently in a friend's yard... a friend who really likes to move plants around. I always think I'll remember who's who, but I don't always! So thanks very much for your help. |
