Help with ID Old Garden Rose # 2 A White One

7 years ago





Now here is a second one that is just starting to open. White with a golden center, fragrant, once blooming, The buds have three very mossy sepals. The flower does resemble Alba maxima but buds are more "mossy" and leaves perhaps not as greyish as Alba m. Tho note the newer growth leaves are slightly more yellow green than the older leaves which I would call more blue green than grey. I call it Rita Corrigan because she said her ancestors from Ireland brought it over and that would have been over a hundred years ago. I had thought it was Mme Hardy or Mme Plantier but there is no quartering at all, the petals are arranged cup like as it opens and there's that fluffy gold center...
