Okay, duh! I apparently don't know the difference b/w a whole bush and a bloom ;D

If it's a once bloomer (and better care won't change that) could it possibly be a gallica or damask? They are very fragrant roses. Try a HMF advanced search for those types.

I understand that you can't make a once-bloomer repeat with care, I just meant that maybe it only puts out one flush because it gets no care.
The leaves and canes don't look anything like the Gallicas or Damasks I have (37) and the fragrance is a lot like those of my Bourbons (9). Up here anyway, many Bourbons only bloom once, or may put out a few blooms in the autumn after a big spring flush. For example, VdB puts out a huge spring flush, but no repeat at all.

However, I'm not saying that this certainly could not be a complex mix of any or all three.

I'm getting new growth on the cutting that I started from this one, so hopefully soon, I'll be able to get some detailed photos of the canes, stipules, etc. It's too bad we can't send fragrance over the net :)~ That would be a big help in trying to ID these older varieties!
Thanks!
