Out of curiosity,, how do you know? What characteristics are you looking at to make your determination?

I agree too with MalinH. See the two photos I just posted:
- Mme AC has not very densely packed blooms, with petals which are more elongated
- The buds are ovoid pointed, not rounded

Thank you. I think I am seeing the difference, especially in the buds.

I tend to agree on this.
The photo John took earlier is the real-one. You might compare Yourselves Nastarana.

It would be interesting to know whether the rose photographed repeat-flowers, which Johno isn't in a position to tell us.

Looks like Félicité et Perpétue

That was my kneejerk reaction too!

Great minds Margaret!

The buds look like my 'White Pet', which of course, is a sport of Félicité et Perpétue.

I am happy to remove the offending photos. The label was nailed to the post so I would assume the garden was sold an incorrect plant to begin with. I have to admit, I am finding it hard to identify the difference.

It's easy if you've grown MME. Alfred. She's quite different.

Hi Johno
Photo wasn't experienced as offending by me.
Maybe someone mixed up the labels.
And I agree with Robert Neil Rippetoe: Once growing this rose, You'll never confuse another rose for it.

There are four more photos that you need to remove. Not Mme Alfred Carriere of none of your pictures.

Hi, does anybody grow this rose in part shade? The area beside my front door I'd like to plant a climber in gets about 4-6 hrs morning sun, depending on whether it's winter or summer. I'm in 10a, bay area California where it hits 100F maybe 5 days per year. Thank you!

Hi,
I grow it in partial shade, doesn't thrive there and does not behave as a climber at that spot.
Abraham Darby copes better with partial shade.

Yes, Abraham Darby tolerates some shade.

Thank you both for the speedy replies! I'm headed down to Regan in a bit and they've also got James Galway. Do either of you have experience with this rose in shade? Thanks again.

I have no experience with Galway.

Sorry, no experience with Galway either.
