That was one of the several potential identifications proposed by Bob Edberg based upon illustrations in old rose publications. Unfortunately, we'll never know just who it is. I sent bud wood of it to The Netherlands years ago in hopes someone there would be able to compare it to similar roses there. It hasn't ever happened.

Hi, I was wondering how this one compares to David Austin's Lady of the Lake; do any of you have experience with the two? My choice for looks might go to DA's, but it's possible that Ghislaine de Feligonde will live longer and happier (which is also an important consideration). I am in zone 6, so they are both hardy.

Wasn't sure if I was going to like this much initially. Portlandia threw slighty undersized (imho, for single flowers) blooms with week necks atop very tall (8+ ft) canes in it's first year. As it matures, it is proving itself a reliable trooper, forming blossoms further along its height. I love the color blend, and the fragrance has a hint of luscious sweet olive blossoms in its fragrance profile.
Health is definitely above average for me
A keeper, in my estimation currently. It appears to be outperforming Kordes' Quicksilver, next to which it is planted.
