In my second year owning this rose. It's finally blooming in great big bunches of flat, open white flowers with golden stamens and I love it. The flowers last 2-3 days. I don't really detect a strong fragrance.
This rose is very vigorous and as it's blooming, is throwing out 2 more thick new canes. It got damaged in the last hurricane to hit the Tampa area, but in the first year I'd say it grew about 6 feet.

Why is this rose thought to be a hybrid Arvensis? I ask because if it has Ayrshire genetics, it possibly could be hardy to zone 5. Are we thinking e.g., R. arvensis x a tea rose? I don't see it being grown in the gardens column colder than 6b.

I visited A Reverence for Roses today, and found this to be an absolutely charming family business. Jan and Don welcomed me, my father and our mini poodle in their gardens and greenhouses and Jan helped me choose 2 roses with her encyclopedic knowledge.. even threw in a third she had heard good feedback from other customers about for our area. Highly recommended, a great experience :)

Thank you so much for today's visit. My wife enjoyed your enthusiasm and your adorable dog and your sweet father that enjoyed smelling the roses. You made the day for us.

I have a winter home in the Tampa Bay Area - and am looking for Roses to bloom in my winter garden when I get there; roughly December through April.. Snowbird Roses! The soil is very sandy.
Any suggestions? Thanks, all!

This rose was sold to me as Lagerfeld - at Home Depot or Lowes (can't remember which). It is clearly not. However, I love the fragrance and find it an attractive very vigorous rose. Anyone have ideas of what it could be?
Very strong old rose and myrrh fragrance
Vigorous grower, multiple blooms in each flowering, constant flowering
Matte, light green darkening to medium green leaves. Red Stamens.
I'm in zone 6b - heavy clay soil, full sun spot that gets afternoon shade after 4

Could it be 'Fragrant Plum', another Christensen rose?

It does look rather like Fragrant Plum, doesn't it! That's certainly a possibility.
Thanks for taking a guess :)
edited to add: or maybe Angel Face?

You're welcome. I think the red stamen filaments will be the key to eventually solving this, also knowing the roses typically sold where you bought it. I can't think of any other suggestions at the moment.
