It is seed-fertile.

Please look at descriptions of Hyménée, this appears a possibility

It reads like the "Molesworth" flowers are too small for that one.
Its size and colour won't do for Parks' Yellow either.

Also known as Molesworth cream tea/china. The rose is supposed to be simiar to the true 'Parks' but doesn't match

"Pacifier" (possibly the founder of the rose) has put more photos of this foundling in the 'Parks' Yellow Tea-Scented China rose' page.
John, if you get a chance, could you tell us why it doesn't match?
Thanks,
Patricia

I didn't realize that someone was attemptng to attribute this rose on HMF and would have worded my comment differently. The principal problem for me is with the colour, their is always blush or pink in the flower which would have been picked up in some of the early descriptions. of which I havn't yet come across. I really like this rose. Try looking at 'de Cels' in Dickersons The old rose advisor (its not on HMF), this is another possibility.

John - sorry I don't understand.
What rose are you talking about please?
The Australian foundling "Molesworth Yellow China" (and do you have this rose?)
or 'Park's Yellow Tea-Scented China'?
Re 'De Cels' 1804 in Dickerson.
I wonder if this is the same as
'Rosa semperflorens à fleurs blanches rosées', before 1815, which HelpMeFind does list.

The Molesworth rose always has a bit of blush or pink in the flower comparing to early descriptions of Parks yellow and indica sulphurea, yes we have The Molesworth rose growing in our garden and we sell it.

Thank you John. It is truly wonderful how these foundlings fly across the world for yet more discerning eyes to watch them.
