It is once flowering (June/July), has dark mossing on buds and stems, older rose fragrance, bush size 5 feet by 5 feet, exceptionally healthy.
Cuttings will take.
It's called a moss rose.Sorry I don't know what it's proper mark though. I have a really old one surrounded by my garden that my mother planted and she died 30 years ago.
*** Looking on Google images it could be Duchesse d'Istrie It looks like a Floribundas any Abundance or Humanily rose
It's so difficult trying to identify a rose from a photo but here are some possibilities.
William Lobb (aka Duchesse D'Istrie) this is a mossy rose as you described and grows to 5 or 6 feet.
Henri Martin,
Empereur de Maroc,
Charles de Mills,
Reine de Violettes.
These last four look similar to the example but the description does not mention mossiness.
hope that helps
Answers: A good-looking rose! There are so many named and lost frail roses out there that the first clue you gave is that it is a moss rose. I own two moss roses and one found rose that is some unknown moss. I am sorry but there is little I can suggest bar browse some of the old rose websites such as Antique Rose Emporium. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
Edit: Good guesses my Michael below. I enjoy Henry Martin and William Lobb and neither reminds me of those in the photos. I had Charles De Mills, a gallica, but within is no moss on Charles de Mills.
