It has been flowering for a couple of months and has no fragrance that I can smell. I'm not sure if it is a climber (it hangs down rather and is propped up with bamboo) or a shrub that needs serious pruning.
When you say it has no fragrance you can smell - can you normally smell roses? If it has no scent i would doubt it is a David Austin.
Might sound like an odd question, but i for one can never detect the beautiful scent of witch hazels even if i stick my nose up really close ( nice picture!!)
Thanks for your replies. I can smell other roses but nothing from this one.
I was trying to identify it so that I know whether to treat it like a shrub or attach it to the fence like a climber. The stems are very long (2 - 3 metres) and hang down so do I assume it is a climber?Thanks
