thanks @Marlorena and everyone for your input. I shall call it a Souvenir D Dr Jamain and keep Falstaff in the back pocket in case.
Medium-sized, flat flowers, showing just a hint of their yellow stamens. They are of the richest maroon colouring and have an equally rich fragrance. Repeat flowers well but is rather lanky in habit and needs treating on a regular basis to keep it healthy. Lacharme, 1865.
I’ll have to check for it’s stamen, never noticed it.
