Does anyone know what the "Unknown Warrior" rose may be?
I am wondering if it could be the rose I wrote about in the Heritage Roses in Australia journal in 2005, [Vol 27, no. 3, p16]. At the time I called it the "Velvet Leafed Rose". It looks like 'Laure Davoust' but with smaller velvety leaves and smaller, one-inch lilac pink flowers, one by one fading to white, and a green pointel. I also considered R. beauvaisii, courtesy of Ivan Louette's website, but came to no conclusions. The "Talbot Rose" in Bermuda sounds the same rose.
