I don't grow many roses because of the thorns (I'm a cissy).
This is Zephirine Drouhin - thornless and smells like roses smelt when you were a kid and collected the petals to make "scent".
That was one of my late father's favourite roses - the other was Longicuspis so he had no fear of thorns. When he became too ill to garden he would sit on a bench and direct with his cane while MrPP and I CAREFULLY took all of the growth off the pergola, cut out what he didn't want and then CAREFULLY tied the thing back up. Agony!
I've just planted up a bed with classic French Belle Epoque roses - no photos yet - and have a few rosa rugosa scattered around, mostly white but this one is stunning.
And we have Mermaid
