Hello i think the note of Greg is just a personal opinion, and i think it is misleading to put as note since the true Paul P is light pink
Nomenclature de tous les Noms de Roses, 1st edition
Book (1899) Page(s) 140.

Paul Perras, HR, Levet, 1870, rose pâle
Journal of Horticulture, Cottage Gardener and Home Farmer (1878-1904)
Magazine (1893) Page(s) 491.

We have had a standard of Charles Lawson with a head 7 feet in diameter, and the fine old Roses, Paul Ricaut and Paul Perras, nearly equally large. They made a brave show in summer, but did not flower again in the autumn like the Hybrid Perpetuals. You will not err by planting these Roses in your garden if you have room for them. Coupe d'Hébé is satiny rose, Charles Lawson deep rose, Paul Perras pale rose, and Paul Ricaut dark carmine in colour.

My 11 year old "The Crepe Rose" is blooming prolifically today. The bush is at least 7' tall in a protected corner that only receives afternoon sun. A very tall old pine tree was removed 4 years ago and now it receives more light. The fragrance is powerful. Due to its current robust growth I had to check HMF to make sure it is The Crepe Rose. The photo shown on HMF looks exactly like mine. Miraculously it has escaped RRD...so far... prickles are nothing unusual. A good strong pink.

I think this rose holds its fragrance as a cut flower better than any other rose I grow. The bush I grow came from this derelict mill two minutes walk from where I live. It grew to the left of the porch, to the right against the wall grew 'Turner's Crimson'. The last owners, probably did no gardening in fifty years. Before this the mill was owned by a family called Budd, and in living memory still inhabited by two old spinster sisters, known as The Miss Budds. I guess they, or their parents before them would have planted the roses. Facing north the picture looks far brighter than real life, both roses survived in the shadiest, dankest bosky conditions! The mill has now sold and is being restored, I have offered plants back to the new owners.

Andrew: How thorny is Paul R. ? Thanks in advance. I'm looking for shade-tolerant roses, but I'm wary of sharp-prickles ... just got poked yesterday NOT by a rose, but an old branch of barberry bush (sharp tiny prickle) that went through my thick-goat-skin glove. I don't mind "dinosaur" chubby thorns (with thick-point) like the pic. of Polka that Jay-Jay posted, but the sharp-needle prickle can go through thick gloves.

For safety-sake, I'm going to post more close-up pictures of roses' thorns. If a bush is tiny, like Sharifa Asma (as own-root), then the sharp-prickles don't grab me .. not much pruning either. But if a bush is large with many sharp prickles, then it's more risky.

Hello Straw, I read the first line of your message and was thinking how to describe the prickles then then next line, ""dinosaur" chubby thorns (with thick-point)", which is exactly like 'Paul Ricault'. It is very prickly but they are equilateral triangles of prickles not hooked at all. It is not a very healthy rose with me getting blackspot badly but this does not seem to stop it growing reasonably well. I do not prune it very much but the tall new growths respond well to pegging down in the autumn, flowering all along their lengths. The flowers are very heavy and full of petals which make them nod forward in a charming way. They are very scented and hold the scent extremely well as a cut flower. You can see the thorns a little bit on the tall growth at the back of this picture. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.145833
I am replying to your private message, but life has been absorbed in tennis for the last few days.
