This beauty is Jayne Austin ( AUSbreak) she has a very heady intense rose fragrance ( think Koko Loco) that I think is always described as myrrh. I can't remember smelling myrrh so from now on I am going to call these rose fragrances heady and intense. This one is a hard one to propagate for me. Some roses are and I am still trying to crack the code. I just want to remind everyone - especially rosarians - to wear your gloves and protect your hands. I received a puncture from a thorn that caused me a swollen left hand that hurt incredibly for about four days. Who has time for that? If I had been wearing my rose gloves this wouldn't have happened. My favorite pair is by womanswork called the all leather gauntlet arm saver. I can smash a pile of dead thorny canes with them and not feel a thing. They are a necessity when I'm cleaning around the bushes also. I just have to remember to put them on ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
