Found rose "Ellie Martin", probably Sweet Fairy. Dense cluster of blooms mid-summer. South Australia, zone 9. The flowers gain a lilac tinge as they age. The scent includes what David Austin called myrrh (I'm not one of its fans). It has prickles but so does the 1971 illustration.

Summer, South Australia, zone 9. The only hip on my plant. It's starting to shrivel: I don't know if that explains the red colour on the seeds, which I don't recall seeing before.
