I'm looking to identify a 5 foot plant very similar to Kordes' 'Rosenresli' which had deep pink, orange-tinged blooms but not Rosenresli's overhanging growth. it wasn't really a cluster-flowered plant but each bloom was atop very slim but stiff and notably vertical 5-7 inch light green peduncle which were mostly solitary but also in groups of 2 or 3 and these at regular 8 inch intervals along a very prickly diagonal branch. The 4 inch blooms also differed from Rosenresli in that they never flattened out but maintained a lantern-shaped, spiralled form and were completely colourfast. The petals had the habit of folding perfectly like in Beth's excellent photo Id. 128065 on the 'Norma Major' rose pages, HMF. The plant was growing in the South Norfolk, England, wired against a South-facing shed back in 2014 but could have been released on the UK market decades before. All of the coral-pink buds opened up in the vase and lasted 5-8 days. What set this one apart was the delicious, 'buoyant' fragrance of strawberries, red apple with slight mango and lime notes emitted by just 2 blooms in water which on a sunny morning, could be detected from two rooms away, behind a closed door and halfway up a staircase.
