This reminds me of what one could get from raising seed from "Rosa polyantha nana" aka "Rosa chinensis 'Angel Wings'". 'Blue Mist' came from that seed strain as well.

I wonder if anyone growing this could compare it to 'Belle Amour'. It's hard to find photos of "Fairmount Semi-Double" anywhere beyond the High Country Roses website.

The HCR pictures sure look like Belle Amour. I might have to buy one this year.

I also strongly suspect that their "High Country Banshee" is identical to another Colorado found rose "Graveyard Alba", which seems to have disappeared from sight and never was in commerce. I think it has pretty well been determined that HCR's "Jeremiah Pink" is Banshee. Beautiful and huuge bush, wonderful display if you have room for it.

The pointed buds and the foliage make me think this is not 'Indigo' but rather some Rugosa, such as 'Hansa'.

The stems are rugosa, as well as the foliage.

This photo shows the climbing form, not the original bush form.
