  It seems pretty obscure. Are you in the UK?

  Yes I am. It originated in the 1920s I think and in the UK. David Austin used to list it about twenty five years ago. The only place I have found that sells it is in the States but they cannot export it. I am just hoping someone on here either grows it or knows an old garden where it is grown.

  Discovered in 1922 by Henry Morse....a sport of Ophelia.

  I grow all three of the others and love them, Ophelia in particular. It has a beautiful perfume too. But I so want to complete the collection!
