Someone gave a rooted cutting to my favorite nurseryman, and he gave it to me with a label in it, "Scotty's species rose" because the giver, Scotty, thought it was a species rose. Well, it's not. I had it a couple of years and it hardly grew because it lost all it's leaves to BS, and anyway our soil is terrible. Well, this year it is still only about 18" high, but it is blooming like crazy. First of all the buds look kind of pinky brown on the tips. They open looking a lot like Souv Malmaison, but I have the St Anne's so I know from the scent it's not Malmaison. The scent is pure tea, and the color is not pink enough. It's pale but with a bit of pale yellowish or pinky shading, then goes white when it's old. Right now it has buds galore, one stalk with 8 or more buds. It looks a lot like the Clotilde Soupert I saw a few years ago. Is the scent and color right? Is there anything else it could be? I looked at Clotilde Soupert on helpmefind, it looks very much like the whiter versions they show. Thanks! Donna
