'Daphne' rose Reviews & Comments

I am now wondering if Daphne is the Not Moonlight I have been puzzling over for ages. The two plants I have (one named as Francine Austin!!) are in full bloom and fit the description given - soft pink buds ,flowers fading to white once fully open with a lilac pink tinge to new flowers. Stamens rapidly fade from light yellow to brown as the flower ages. Flowers are borne in loose trusses. Leaves are glossy mid- green borne on reddish new canes which fade to mid-green. Thorns are red, fading to mid-brown and are large. It is either this rose or Maid Marion.

This rose was planted in 2010 and as of 5/27/13 it is 5ft+ tall and at least 10ft wide! No disease problems at all. SUPER vigorous! Beautiful arching spreading growth habit. It needs a lot of room. Rebloom is a bit slow and nothing like the first flush which is incredable!

I don't understand this rose. The photos in HelpMefind are white (and so is Trevor Griffiths' photo) and yet most references say blush pink.
(I also don't understand why Mr. Neal's comment of June 6, 2011 in which he mentioned an old gym sock fragrance for 'Daphne' is missing from the 'Daphne' file and yet is in Mr. Neal's file. Admin?)
Mr. Neal - how is the fragrance these days?

The buds of this rose are pale pink, but quickly fade to white as they open. In some of the attached photos, you can see pale pink in some of the buds and what must be freshly opened flowers. You have to look closely. I never noticed a bad fragrance myself, but will have to report back next time my Daphnes are in bloom.
