Kathleen Harrop is a beautiful soft pink rose, with sem-double saucer shaped blooms - it has a delicious scent and no thorns and also repeat flowers - it's a really lovely rose.

I used to have a white thornless climber with lovely perfume. Thought it was Miss Zepherine, but have Googled and can only find Zephirine Drouhin which does look lovely.
Dove any idea what I had?
Can't think of a pure white thornless climber KEF, but Madam Alfred Carriere is white with the prettiest palest shell pink,tinges more or less thornless with a lovely perfume - in fact I always find that her foliage is beautifully scented too. http://www.davidaustinroses.com/english/Showrose.asp?Showr=539

Thanks Dove
I've got Zephirine Drouhin, which is scented and thornless.
