I’ve been told by other walkers that further along you can only smell wild Jasmine.
On the waters edge – where these grow – can best be described as a cool climate. With the onshore breeze off the river it rarely passes above 21c / 70f. So about the same climate as your Mountain rose.

A great moment of a wonderful day….
