Mrs Norman Watson, contrary to claims, has a sweet mild scent, well worth sniffing. Once flowering in October only, alas.	REPLY

Does it throw out a few flowers in autumn? Early newspaper articles on the Autumn Rose Shows report it was exhibited then, and there's even a photo of an autumn bloom in the file here.	REPLY

Reply soon; my spies are out. May I say irrelevantly that it has many beautiful blooms, formally symmetrical and facing up. They are at sniffing height. I never see it without deeply admiring it.	REPLY

The spies say it has an "autumn flush", just as you said.	REPLY
