| Beautiful photos tricornrose! Wish I knew more to answer your question |
|
| Hi Tricornose I am including a link to a page that has two pics of WMC. When I loaded these to the net I wasn't sure of the name but I have been assured by the people I got the cutting from that it is WMC. Also most people on the forum felt that it was WMC. The pics are the two to the left in the bottom row. BTW I know that Octavius Weld is not. I think it may be a Madame Lombard? My WMC are fuller than your pics. I think the pink edge can vary greatly according to the climate so I wouldn't rely too heavily on that. I can't think of any other options at the moment but I'm sure you'll get some helpful replies. I would imagine that WMC would be very difficult to keep as a standard, it is a monstrous bush. Sally |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wh. Mamon Cochet

| I agree with Sally that WMC would be too vigorous and weighty to be used as a standard.Looking at my 3yr old bush,she is going to be a BIG lady,very soon. My blooms look identical to Sally's pics. The petal count is 80+ and the leaves are mid green. Pam. |

| Thanks Kev, Sally and Pam. Roses can look different depending on where they are growing etc etc. Well, I'm fresh out of ideas re what it might be but at least I know now what it is not. I'm just guessing too when I say it's an old tea. I think I mentioned that it opens out flat and fades to white. Once it reaches this stage, the flowers stay on the stem for quite some some before dropping. It also has a very pleasant perfume, a bit lemony, I think, and has four flowers to the truss? (is this the right expression?). Anyway, thanks all for your input |
|
| Thought it might be Pristine,but its blooms are big,tempted to suggest Seduction,it becomes flat as it ages. Pam. |
|
| I looked through one of my rosebooks this morning and am inclined to agree with plaur-Seduction looks closest to it so far and is commonly used as a standard also. regards sandie |

| Sally, my rose is so like your photo, but it can't be WMC according to some descriptions I have been given by people on here who have it. It definitely isn't Madame Lombard, my rose isn't this pink. The photos I took do show a lot of pink but mainly my rose is more pale lemon to white. Also my rose would be at least seven years old and therefore, I don't think it would be Seduction. When was Seduction released? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/tricornrose/whiterose004.jpg  [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/tricornrose/whiterose004.jpg [/IMG] Anyway, here's a lucky last photo of the fully opened rose. I think I shall just have to enjoy this rose without ever knowing who she is ......... Thanks all |

| Seduction aka Matilda,Pearl of Bedfordview,Charles Aznavour. Pretty good photo in the large Botanica under Matilda. I suspect its been around awhile as Chas A,release date is 1998,but it won 2 gold medals in 1987!Meilland. I like this rose in the early stages but it hangs on forever looking grey/white and flat. Hope this helps some more! Pam. |

| Sorry Tricornose, my rose is nothing like your photo. Mine is fuller and does not display such interesting, prominent stamens etc. The Mme Lombard comment was referring to the pink rose on my site that I have labeled as Octavius Weld but is not. I mentioned it simply because people eventually point out that it is not OW. I think Seduction might be a good bet. Sally |

| Sally, I misunderstood your email, apologies. I am not up enough on my roses to know what OW looks like, never mind, mistake your rose for it! Plaur, Matilda sounds very promising and has all the right attributes except Botanica says it has no perfume and my rose definitely does have perfume, not as strong as old roses and DA's but enough to say its definitely there. Perhaps Botanica has just got the perfume thing wrong, if you are familiar with the rose then you will know whether or not it has any (Matilda, that is). I agree that it does hang on a bit and is rather flat but the plant, from a distance, along with other roses looks ok in the garden, whereas other roses lose their petals in a messy fashion, mine does not (whatever its name) |
