| Here is a picture of a hybrid musk which has grown in our garden for at least 40 years, and maybe more. It is among a group of roses my FIL planted in the 70s or late 60s. I think he bought them all from ROYAT. It reminds me of Ballerina, except of course slightly more double and a darker color. Does anyone recognize it, or have any guesses? (It really does not have any white on it - that is just where the sun was hitting it when I took the pic). Thanks for your help - Jackie |

| Just a guess: Will Scarlet? |

| Thanks! I looked WS up, and it was darker than mine, and also it had way rounder leaves. Someone on the rose forum suggested 'Belinda', and I think that is what mine is - same leaves, and exact same looking blooms. Jackie |
|
| Robin Hood could also be a possibility. |
|
| Hmmm, yours does look a little more fulsome than most specimens of Vanity I have seen.....but Vanity does do that thing of having a few extra petaloids (Bishop Darlington style) so a possibility, maybe. The colour is exactly right. |
|
| My Vanity is much "redder" than this and my Belinda has more petals. Not much help. Sorry. Diane |

| Thanks so much. Vanity's leaves are completely wrong, so I am eliminating that. Robin Hood, however, is as good a match as Belinda, so I guess I will have to go back to my rose list and put in "or Robin Hood" next to this rose! Jackie |

| I think Robin Hood is more red, less pink, but mine are both in the shade. |
