Can anyone help me identify this lovely rose. I found it in a derelict house garden in Brittany (France) It gave these beautiful, medium size blooms this summer. It looks like a rambling sort, with two long shoots.
From my own research, it may look like 'Roi des Pourpres': fragrance, colour changing from strong pink to pale pink as the bloom ages, almond green leaves. Any idea?
Thanks in advance

It's not Rose du Roi des Pourpres, which is a much darker purplish-red.

Have you considered 'De la Grifferaie'? I don't have this rose unfortunately, so don't really know it.

Your suggestion is very worthwhile, Patricia. It seems to fit my case quite nicely. I did not know de la Grifferaie so far, and it is a very pleasant discovery. Thank you for your help!

Thank you Darrell. I agree that this rose has not shown such a dark colour even at the beginning of the bloom - which leads to discarding the Roi des Pourpres case.

This is very similar to the rose I grow as 'Russelliana'.
