'Mrs. B.R. Cant' rose Reviews & Comments

|
This variety is not sold in the UK, but I can find it in a few of the Italian online catalogues. The one at Mottisfont smelt wonderfully of apples and did not look quite as full of petals as those in the Italian nurseries catalogues, though the colour was a good match, from memory. Does anyone growing this rose know if the clone grown at Mottisfont is the same as the clones sold from the Italian specialist nurseries? Also, how does this rose behave in wet weather? Does it ball hopelessly? The pics I have seen look so full of petals they make me think performance would not be good in England, but the blooms at Mottisfont had opened fine... Thank you to anyone who might be able to contribute.

I can't help you with the perfume - or with your Mottisfont-Italy question.
In our wettish winter climate (we've just had 80mls or over three inches of rain between June 13-22 - I forgot to read the rain gauge there for a while) the few blooms of 'Mrs. B. R. Cant' are opening well. but they seem smaller than summer blooms. I do have one mouldy mummy on the bush, but I am sure this is an exception.

Thank you so much for the reply. I see quite a lot of petals in the pictures of the blooms you posted - if the buds opened fine in wet weather, this is encouraging.
