Has anyone compared this rose to 'Pavillon de Pregny', the Noisette hybrid? To me, the photos look similar, and the description of the bloom size also seems close.

This rose didn't even last long enough to bloom in my garden. I've replaced it with "Sweet Pea", which is very new, but seems more vigorous already.

My Aunt Margy's came as a small plant which I'm growing up in a pot, using organic fertilizers. It is about 1 ft x 1 ft and always has about 5 buds and / or open very fragrant blossoms. It even bloomed during our chilly rainy Winter with no disease. I live in the San Francisco area. It seems easier to grow up than some other polyanthas.

Thanks for the info. I keep that in mind for my next Burlington roses order.

Does anyone know if Aunt Margy's Rose is heat tolerant? Rodger

It certainly is heat tolerant. We live in zone 9B and have many days over 100 degrees in the Summer. It always has flowers on it in the Spring thru Fall seasons.

Yes it is. 100+ heatwave with intense humidity and it is disease free and has many buds and blooms

Frederick Maryland 7A First year with this rose. I am liking it a lot. It is staying low to the ground and sending out long low branches, almost like it could be a groundcover. The habit reminds me of how The Fairy was during it's early growth. It is in a large decorative pot that has the bottom broken of, so the pot is sort of leaning forward a little bit. It's kind of like putting it in a small raised bed situation because the roots will have easy access to the ground beneath the pot. Anyway, the location suits it because it keeps the long branches from being on the ground. It's also right next to a fairy garden which is ideal because the flowers are very small. The flowers are very fragrant. The flowers are very light pink for me so far. They flowers are in clusters and it just keeps blooming. Very nice Update 8/29/21 It is very hot here and we are at our worst point of the summer for black spot and disease. This rose is remarkably healthy with only a few leaves at the bottom showing yellowing from heat stress. Otherwise, the leaves are clean. This is impressive. It took a break from blooming for about 2 weeks during 100+ days ( my garden gets very hot as I'm in a city) but now it has clusters of buds again. Early on the flowers were light pink and reminded me of a small Marie pavie bloom, but then as the bush matured they became darker pink and more cupped like I see in the pictures here. I cut back the low growing braches after they bloomed and now it is sending out more upright branches.
UPDATE- crazy thing happened with this rose. I kept noticing that the flowers varied but eventually I realized the leaves varied too which was when I realized that I must have gotten 2 tiny bands from different roses in the same pot. I dug it up and was actually able to separate to two different rosebushes. The non-aunt margy's was very vigorous and large, extremely thorny and put out huge panticles of small highly fragrant flowers. I don't know what it was but because of its thorniness and vigor I gave it away to a friend with a farm where it can grow as big and thorny as it wants. Aunt Margy didn't love being cut back and moved, so I had to add root hormone to her roots to get her to revive. Right now she is an adorable lovely rose in a pot with button sized full blooms. Very healthy with great repeat. A real survivor I'd say. I really love the look of this rose and am so glad to have it.

Is it possible that this rose is ‘Gaspard Monge’ centifolia. I’ve never seen either one in person, but I’ve had Aunt Margy’s Rose on my wishlist for a while, and when I stumbled across a photo of Gaspard Monge I thought, “Oh, Aunt Margy’s Rose!” before I read the name.

Gaspard Monge is spring-only. I don't know "Aunt Margy's rose", but I see from comments and photos that it repeats.
