Still wondering about "Octavus Weld" and "Angels Camp Tea". Would you be able to add a close-up photo/s of the bud and receptacle? Thanks.	REPLY

added pic as requested, this isn't 'Octavus Weld' as I have that here	REPLY

Thank you. Please note that "Octavus Weld", being a study name, needs double inverted commas. Margaret	REPLY

I found this at the site of an old cross close to here (SW France), it was growing out of what is now a hedge. The cross had disapeared several decades ago according to locals	REPLY

It bears a striking resemblance to "Angels Camp Tea." The blooms sometimes open pale apricot, sometimes light pink, in heat, fading to cream or white. It is very floriferous and somewhat prone to powdery mildew.	REPLY

My first reaction was "Octavus Weld" (which is the same as "Angels Camp Tea"), but the later photo seemed to show fewer petals, and I have the impression that the receptacle may be broader. We need a good bud/receptacle view. I'm not an expert.	REPLY

has some resemblance to 'la sylphide' of vibert.	REPLY
