Hello! Yes my Souv de Louis Amade and my Madame Anisette (I have two of them) both attain a height of 6 ish feet each year, growing back from die-back to the mulch or snow line each winter. My soil is alkaline, in general, but is very enriched. It is very old farmland or old garden soil having been worked for generations. Some parts of my lawn are rocky and more "sandy" and orangy color, where gardens or farms didn't exist.
Part of the reason I think they grew so tall was I threw down Milorganite on them early in the season. Its supposed to be for foliar growth (grass). I wanted to keep critters away, and have too many roses to mix fertilizer into water, I would nee some kinf of farm tractor to haul huge tanks around. So pellets it is. This year I am using 14-14-14.
So I would say I have about 18 inches loam above clay. Madame Anisette has proven very cane hardy! And sumptuous, part old fashioned/part modern blooms, almost like Frau Karl Druschi, in large clusters. One of my favorite roses "of the modern era"! Saint Cecilia was weaker, of average vigor. Shorter. I planted another this year, mine may not have been receiving enough sun where it was.

In my view this is not Rosa moschata. Rosa moschata has white single flowers comprising 5 petals.

I believe this was Bella Donna that crept in. The Moschata label was finally taken away.

Found a website for a nursery called "Antique Roses" which does carry this particular variety. Though I decided I have as many roses as I can properly care for, this site has me sorely tempted with its interesting list of old roses. It also has very beautiful photographs!

That website is phony, there is no reply, nothing for sale, and there is a discussion about this on various garden websites. All the photos on tht site have been stolen without permission from HMF member's photos. it is believed the website exists as a phishing-for-credit card numbers scam....
