'Pearl Dior' rose Reviews & Comments

It is definitely not Cl Perle d'Or.
From Leonie K: It looks very much like 'Prosperity'. After watching it for some time I am convinced that it is different as the bunches of blooms are larger and the canes are longer and it is more of a climber than 'Prosperity'. However it is very similar.
From Bonita: on the Bunnings (hardware chain) label it is described as a late 19th Century rose. It has a little pink bud and the blooms form a cluster and start off as cream and then become a very white star shaped bloom.

Following a vague memory, I have searched my computer and found that Ron (and Hazel) Treloar in Queensland, rang me on March 1, 2002 and was chasing information on 'Prosperity' 1919. He said: "At a house ‘Galgowan’ on the Darling Downs, which is being restored (and last lived in in 1927) there is a rose which someone has identified as ‘Prosperity’."
I wonder if Ron and Hazel have come to any conclusion over the years and if their foundling was the same as 'Pearl Dior'.
It would really help if member Bonita could add that Bunnings label as a photo. There may be distinguishing code that might identify the distributor (who sold the rose to Bunnings).

Here was a discussion of "Perle Dior" in 2006:

Thanks Jedmar. i had found that one and have reassigned Lulu’s photo of ‘Pearl Dior’ into this file.
I wonder if anyone can help on advice about reading the Plant Label number 9 337085 000443 on the back of the label?

It looks super pretty. I had considered it could be Alister Stella Grey for a second, but its definitely not on a closer inspection.
Maybe this is a sport of a polyantha? It looks to have super cute and round blooms.

I just uploaded a photo of 2 plants that I recently bought (very cheaply) from Bunnings, in the Southern Tablelands of NSW. They were labelled "Perle d'Or". They have just started to bloom, and the flowers are white, as described in this rose, Pearl Dior. Is some nursery person throwing in an unnamed seedling ring in?
