Re: Habit:Thornless (or almost)
How old is this reference please? The older pictures seem to have some quite large thorns.

The reference is from Singer 1885, who says ''few but quite large prickles''.

Thank you Jedmar. I am trying to work out if an unknown rose "Wood St. Buff Yellow" could be 'Mme. Falcot'.

Colour of bloom and of new branches would speak for, but the short sepals and form of prickle (admittedly only one) against Mme Falcot.

Thanks again Jedmar, In that case, can someone move those pictures out of the 'Mme. Falcot' page and into a new page for this Western Australian foundling ""Wood St. Buff Yellow" .
We can add any details once this new page is open.

I think you need opinions on this from more experienced rosarians than mine. I have opened the new page for 'Wood St. Buff Yellow'; but would suggest to leave the comments and pictures as a reference under 'Mme Falcot', too, and upload the pictures and description again under the heading of the Found Rose.

I doubt if we could find too many more experience than you Jedmar. However....
Viru and Girija - are you out there anywhere? You have written in the 'Australian Rose Annual' 2008, p125 that Mme Falcot "does well in India". Are my pictures what you grow as 'Mme. Falcot'?

Hi Patricia,
Can you tell if / where Wood St buff Yellow is available? If not, does anyone supply bud wood?
Thanks

The flowers and young growth certainly look like M. Falcot but a distinctive feature of the M.Falcot we grow in India is the yellow green color of the mature foliage. If the mature foliage shows this color than it would confirm that your plantis indeed M.Falcot.

From the Rosen-Zeitung 1888, page 36:
"Im Jahre 1864 kamen in den Handel ...
... 3. Madame Charles (Thee, Damaizin); Blume mittelgross, leicht gefüllt, Farbe dunkel nankinggelb, halbkugelförmig; ein Gegenstück der Mme. Falcot"
Onto the market in the year 1864 came ...
... 3. Madame Charles (Tea, Damaizin); Flower medium sized, lightly double, colour dark nankeen yellow, hemispherical form; a counterpart to Mme. Falcot.
Edit: Uh-oh! I just realised I posted this under Mme Falcot really intending it for Mme Charles, No matter - it refers to Mme Falcot anyway. I'll leave it up for now.

I have added the reference to 'Mme. Charles'. Thanks HubertG

I am pretty cold her in winter, nights 0 down to -7C, days around 8-14C so none of the roses bloom much in winter.

Thanks Margaret!
It seems to be thriving on total neglect. Proof how hardy these tea roses really are.
