Dinard is an old cross, they are had to find these days, But I am lucky to have three, one can now be divided,
The flower is huge, 8 X8 1/4, and smell wonderful.

She's beautiful!! Can you post pictures of the other two you have in bloom? Just wondering how much difference there is between different clones.
