Some characteristics of this suggest to me that it might not be 'Mrs. Fred Danks'. It reminds me more of 'Flying Colours'.

Sorry it has taken me a while to respond to this post. Is it possible that this climber could be either Jessie Clark, Glenara or Harbinger?

I grew 'Jessie Clark' for many years and I'd say it isn't that. The petals on 'Jessie Clark' were never that crepey/furrowed (sorry, don't know exactly what to call it), the stamens were somewhat different, and there's too much white in the centre of this rose compared to 'Jessie Clark'. Also, I don't remember small clusters on 'Jessie Clark' as displayed in the third photo.

I have none of these roses.

Jessie Clark. Have you compared this Jessie Clark at SG84 109 with the one at Senate S84 E01 ? I have a slight niggle when I look at the photos, and then read the references for Jessie Clark: 1922 Rich pink colour; and 1931 a much deeper pink than Sinica Anemone

Glenara. The foliage at SG84 J02 seems shorter and wider, than the foliage at SG84 109

Harbinger is a light pink. SG84 109 seems too dark a pink.

Which brings me back to HubertG’s suggestion of Flying Colours.
You might like to enlist the help of someone at Araluen, W.A. and the Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden at Bulla, Victoria. They both grow Jessie Clark.

Hi everyone, I have looked into this rose and contacted Alister Clarke Memorial Garden. After viewing some of our photos they also were leaning towards 'Flying Colours'. A new plaque will be created for this rose. Thanks for everyones help. Nadene
