I would very much like to see more detailed photos of the canes, prickles and foliage of your beautiful rose. The buds and leaves do not look the same as the rose we in the USA and Australia known as Fortune's Double Yellow. The leaves are too wide, the buds are too yellow, and the blooms are too uniform. Please compare your photo to this one:

You should see many leaves with 7 and 9 leaflets. Also, while Fortune's Double Yellow carries a flowery scent, it is not strongly or intensely fragrant.

I noticed the same thing Cass. The rose being grown in Europe has a more modern look to it. Something's amiss somewhere.

I compared the pictures of my rose to the pictures of the italian best roses-catalogues and it looks the same... The Fortune's Double Yellow is a Chines Rose becoming one of the ancient Tea rose, blows once a season, needs mild places. The parfume is particulary intense (you can smell it at 5 mt!).

Thanks for your response. I've been growing Fortune's Double Yellow for six years. I'm certain that this rose is not what we grow.
Climbing hybrid teas also bloom only once a year. I agree with the suggestion that it looks like a climbing Pernetiana. See, just as an example, Autumn, Entente Cordiale or Geisha as examples of the coloring (but not the climbing habit).

This is a wonderful rose with its changeable colours and it seems that your garden is just the right environment!

Thank you jedmar... The rose is particularly perfumed... you can enjoy its perfume at 5 mt.!!! Unfortunately it blows just once at season!

Then it seems a different rose than what I have. My FDY is not strongly fragrant. From which nursery did you get yours?

The picture has the look of 'Talisman' about it.

one of the typical features of this rose are the reddish petioles - so obviously displayed that none of the old botanical painters seem to have overlooked them, as you can clearly see in the prints posted by cass.
does your rose re-bloom? does it set hips, and if so, what form and color do they have?
