Hello Cass,

No, I didn't get to see the full page until tonight
when I got home - From the coast the line was
lousy and downloading anything was like a torture.

I revel in excess.

I agree about the noisette, the foliage is a good
identifier. Right now I have to unpack and get some
rest but tomorrow perhaps at lunch I will spend some
time with your rose. What is curious is that your rose
reminds me of a rose I know, and I know I know it.
You know when you know

Take your time. It isn't going anywhere soon, I hope. Could it be
you're trying to remember Desprez á Fleures Jaune?

Some of the description doesn't apply, but other parts do, like the
button eye. Tiny buds applies. Small, long, pointed foliage does not.
Shoot that zig zag at every node, as described by Graham Stuart Thomas,
does apply.

This picture from Cedar Rim Nursery looks right on:
