What a lovely rose, so distinctive in shape. I've only just joined the site and am a beginner as regards identification. Have you tried the advanced search so see what you come up with? You could also search for red roses to see if you spot it. Good Luck. Penny :)

Thanks, yes it does, but I have one and they are very different in fragrance and their properties when they are open. Mine doesn't have the single center look of Mr. Lincoln. The mystery continues

It smells wonderful!! absolutely amazing--that's what caused me to stop at the boarded-up house that it once grew in front of. I bought my Mom a bare-root Papa Meiland, so I'll have to compare the flowers this spring, when it stops snowing where she lives. Thanks for the suggestion.

There's a rose named "Dark Lady", or "The Dark Lady", that looks very much like yours and it has an old rose scent...............Looking forward to more photos of the rose..........:)..... Penny

My suggestion is 'Francis Dubreuil'. Very few roses have such an overpowering scent, just wonderful. I grow it in a pot in our greenhouse in winter and when it flowers the whole room is sweetly perfumed. Blackish red velvety flowers.

"Francis Dubreuil" sounds lovely, and to have such a perfume is very good, too.
