I bought 6 lost label roses and this one has just bloomed. I've never seen one quite so beautiful.

It's a shame because it was a lost label rose I might never know what it is called

    Did you get them from J.Parker, they sell lost label roses cheaply.

    That is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.  Is it 'Sweetness'?

     I agree - Handel - I've grown it too, and a friend had the climbing version on the front of her cottage - beautiful image

    Thanks everyone! Yes I did buy them from Parkers last autumn. The lost label roses appear to be fine but 2 climbers I bought at the same time snuffed it over the winter image
