There has been some wonderful photos posted by Frederic of 'Viscountess Folkestone'. Could the Australian's who know and grow "Kew Cemetery Pink" (etc.) please compare. It seems similar.

Looks promising; it would be nice to see prickle photos, and to know whether it sets hips. The references to blooms sometimes being large don't really fit my plant.

"Large" occasionally fits my plant[s]. This clone is the "Bridgetown BP (Bridgetown, W. A.)".
I am looking further at 'Viscountess Folkestone' but at this early stage, I am not terribly happy with the leaf shape. The Australian foundlings seem to have a very rounded leaf.

There are now more references in the 'Viscountess Folkestone' page. I still think it is an excellent contender for our foundling roses and would welcome comments

Some references say that 'Viscountess Folkestone' is/was particularly fragrant.
While "Kew Cemetery Pink" et al has a soft, pleasing fragrance, it's not one you'd think would be singled out for special mention.
