Amadeus - our red rose




I've tried on and off for years to identify this rose. I grew it from a cutting which I cheekily took from a public park in Denmark, about 25 years ago. Yesterday, looking again on the internet I decided it must be 'Amadeus'.
Anyway, it is the reddest-ever floribunda climber, sweetly scented, which has absolutely thrived against the east wall of our old house.  It's a strong climber but the flower trusses are so heavy that some of them hang down, giving us such a good view of the rich red, velvety, regal flowers. It positively glows.
