I'm looking to identify a plant which was similar in some ways to Kordes' 'Rosenresli' and had deep pink, orange-tinged blooms with about 20-30 petals but not Rosenresli's overhanging top growth. Each bloom was on an upright, very slim but stiff 5-7 inch light green peduncle which were mostly solitary but also in groups of 2 or 3 and these at regular 8 inch intervals along a prickly diagonal branch. The 4 inch blooms also differed from Rosenresli in that they never flattened out into a ruffled form but maintained a lantern-shaped, spiral with rolled back petals which were colourfast and weather-proof. The mature, woody-based climber had previously been trimmed down to about 6 feet and was growing in South Norfolk, England in 2014, held against a small South-facing shed by an horizontal wire. All of the coral-pink buds opened up in the vase and lasted 5-8 days. What set this one apart was not really the colour but the extremely fruity, 'buoyant' fragrance of strawberries with slight mango and lime notes emitted by just 2 blooms (when in a vase of water) which on a sunny morning, could be detected from two rooms away, behind a closed door and halfway up a staircase.
