'Bouquet Tout Fait' rose Reviews & Comments

I've had 'Bouquet Tout Fait' in the garden for some years now and it's a very good rose. Recently I began to entertain doubts as to the correct identity of my rose, which didn't correspond all that closely to the descriptions I found, and which struck me as looking rather like a Hybrid Wichuriana. When I came looking on HMF I found photos of what look like two different roses. One is that at Mottisfont, in the photos taken by Billy Teabag, and other is the one in the photos of Robert Neil Rippetoe. Mine looks like the Mottisfont rose. So I had a suspicion that my rose was an imposter, though I didn't know what it was. It didn't correspond to any variety I was familiar with. Today I saw photos (on the Gardenweb Antique Roses forum) of the rose 'Glenn Dale', and it looked like my rose; I looked at the photos of 'Glenn Dale' on HMF and they look right for my rose as well. According to the HMF description 'Glenn Dale' is a Hybrid Wichuriana, and the dimensions, once flowering, and thorniness all correspond to my rose. I think there's a good chance my rose is 'Glenn Dale', and that some of the roses in commerce under the name 'Bouquet Tout Fait' are in fact 'Glenn Dale'.
