The rain tolerance is zero, I've never seen a flower from mine in four years, every single one ball and rot, so shovel with it.

HMF has many photos of Lamarque with plenty of flowers. I wonder if your rose was correctly identified.

Mine came from Loubert, I believe it is the correct id, for what I can see of the buds that I forced to open by unglueing petals, I have a rain season that goes from fall to early summer.

Loubert's website states for this rose: Très parfumée.
HMF states a moderate lemon, tea fragrance. I tend to agree with HMF as for fragrance.
Question is: Is the Loubert rose the right-one?

Jay-Jay I'm waiting for a bud to open so I can smell it, for what I recall of the buds i unglued the petals on, it was not that fragant, then again parfum is subjective often, and it would not be the first misidentified rose in Loubert collection.

So I finally got two buds to open in a dry spell, it does have a slight lemon parfum.

That would fit the description on HMF and would support my experience as for fragrance with this rose.

My own root plant from John and Becky Hook (former Roseraie du Désert) behaves well and the flowers do not ball. We live in a wet climate. Other roses do ball in our garden. A combination of rain and Botrytis. The latter abundantly present, because of the fruit-trees.
