Rose garden, El Retiro, Madrid Rose "Papa Milland" (Please see Pam J's comments below!).

There's a strange, predatory looking insect nestling in the top bud. Maybe a wasp of the ichneumon fly type I wonder. Sorry that the detail isn't clear enough but I didnt spot it at the time and in fact only saw it on uploading, 3 and a half years later! Tonight in fact!

Rose garden, Parque de El Buen Retiro, Madrid.

I was experimenting with my new mobile!

El Retiro Park Rose Garden in between the downpours, The roses got knocked about a bit but at least it wasn't hail.

Another Daniel Gelin rose from Madrid's El Retiro Park rose garden.

El Retiro rose garden, Madrid. First shown in 2017. These are my favourite roses. I had them in a London garden but didn't take cuttings before I left and then spent 25 years looking for it! Not easy when I didn't have a name! But the colour is distinctive as is the dark green of the leaves (apparently an indication of an old variety). I did eventually spot it in a Portreath garden (Cornwall) and also a London front garden (in both cases the owners weren't in so I couldn't ask for a cutting) and then, miraculously in the rose garden of the Retiro park, Madrid!

Rosa Daniel Gelin. I discovered, some time after posting this, that Daniel Gelin was a well-known French actor who died in the early 90s.
