Laure Davoust' at Northcliffe, W.A. Oct 25, 2023. Provenance: foundling from south of the Fine Woodcraft Gallery, Pemberton in 1997->. GS-O-SE. This was the rose that scoured my leg deeply when I passed too closely on the mower and I wore a dressing on the leg for five weeks. The thorns are welded on to the canes. In front is probably ‘Irish Rich Marbled’ which came in 2002 from Zephyr Brook house bed as R. Spinosissima bicolour.
