With those parents, it should have wonderful scent. I see one reference describes its growth as 7/10. How tall does it get? Would someone who grows it, or has access to it, please post more photos - bush, leaf, bud, prickles: and compare it with "Francis Dubreuil - in commerce as" ?	REPLY

The photo certainly seems similar. However - from the Marechal Lyautey references, and comparing "Francis Dubreuil - in commerce as" in brackets.

1931 elongated bud (short)
1933 50 petals (30-40). Fades and blues (no)
