Came as 'Rose Edouard' in 2004 from M. Alden, Perth. Own roots at Northcliffe February 24, 2021. This plant propagated in 2019 and still in its pot, sheltering amongst the rhubarb. An out of focus photo, but gives an idea of the prickles.

Came as 'Rose Edouard' in 2004 from M. Alden, Perth. Own roots at Northcliffe Sep 18, 2023. This plant propagated in 2019 is still in its pot and obviously likes the regime of sheep manure and the alkaline lucerne hay top dressing. My other plant in our acid heavy loam has just two buds today.
Later edit: every single bloom balled and rotted this spring.
