Initial post 6 APR by Rebedina
I am wondering if anyone recognizes this beautiful, lightly fragranced rose grown from a cutting taken from a 1920's house in Melbourne, Australia? It has smooth pedicels, dull, narrow leaves and has few thorns.

If you re-open your post you'll find it has grown an Add Photos button.
Does the plant repeat-flower? Does it set hips? Does it sucker when grown from a cutting? Is it a bush or a climber?

Apologies for the late uploading of photos. The plant in question is a bush and does not sucker. It has round hips and does repeat flower.

For some reason it made me think of Dickson's 'Dean Hole' of 1904, but I don't know how likely it would be for that to have survived.

Rebedina, when you say a cutting taken from a 1920s house, do you have good reason to think it might be of the same era of the house? It could be something from much later.

It certainly could be a much later rose, you're right.
