bodica, I love your pictures and your beautiful description of this rose. From what I can find about Treasure Trove the foliage is glossy and dark green, the shoots turn from red to green, it's a very fragrant rose and the color is apricot that turns to soft pink and/or is a mixture of the two. Of the two photos I found there was a resemblance but the picture that was more of a close-up did not appear to have the tiny curling petals in the center so that the fully opened rose had more visible stamens. I'm not an expert by any means and hope that some of the true rosarians on this forum can give you a more definitive answer. I do know that you have an exquisitely beautiful rose, and I share your excitement. The photos you took have given me the second great pleasure this morning. The first was walking in my garden after a substantial rain last night. Rain this late in spring in parched Southern California is what we needed desperately. And, I won't have to water for at least a week!

Thank you Ingrid, my eyes are crossing, I have been searching images for so long and about to give up. Mine is not cupped like the photos I have found, but the petals fold back or under. I checked for thorns, yes this cutting has them, and the bloom finally fell apart when I touched it today so I counted 40 petals + about 25 of the curly center ones. The inside base of each petal is yellow and the pearl sheen is even more fabulous up close in hand. I also noticed most Treasure Trove pics look like the petals are easily bruised but this is only slightly browning, the tips, since I took it apart to count. I'm even more confused and don't know what this is! Oh also there is only one bud on each lateral, and you are correct, the stamens are hiding under the curly petals. Any way, thanks for your help, I'm going to take a break now, our rain has stopped and get some sun with my other roses, lol. and I think I'll root from the bloom I just removed...

I don't think this is Treasure Trove. I tried to find a close up of it in my pictures. I wish I could tell you what it is but I'm almost certain it is not that.

Am I correct that Treasure Trove has thinner more papery, easily brused, petals that are cupped? and pale? This held its color, and now drying the petals are even more fragrant! I could not be more excited about this surprising rose! What other rose holds its perfection from bud to drop for almost three weeks?! It still looked fabulous til I touched and then the outside petals began to fall but the rest I pulled off. I won't remove the other buds after flowering so they may go to seed. I do not know who this can be, but I want more! I did stick the cutting from yesterdays flower. Oh, another amazement, many of my other roses are struggling with all the fungus's but this plant is clean. Any specific pictures I could take that would help identify? I have bought from Heirloom, Ashdown, Rogue, etc. and have all my records, never from hardware, grocery, JP, etc.

Don't know if you have checked out HMF, but here is the link to 'Treasure Trove' rambler. I'm not so sure there would be only one bloom as TT blooms in corymb's.

Still trying, found this, could it be? I did buy one but thought it died...
Souvenir de la Malmaison, climbing. Bourbon. (1893) 10 feet. Flowers repeatedly. Zones 5-9.
(duh lah mahl-may-ZAWHN)
I find it difficult to select the right words, for this is not just another old-fashioned
rose, or can you describe its many subtle qualities with the usual catalog superlatives.
Factually it is very hardy...no freeze-back even in the coldest Pennsylvania; a moderate
grower, but a profuse all-season bloomer. Flower is large, many-petalled - a pearly
soft flesh-pink. Full, tight buds open slowly to show many tightly curled petals full
of fragrance. A sunny protected position is best, as well as a garden with low rainfall,
as wet weather can keep a bloom from realizing its glory. This rose is well suited
trained over an arbor, providing a lovely canopy for a bench.
An old-world rose which speaks of history, romance and nineteenth century
"Paris in Spring."

Wow, that is gorgeous.

Bud in first picture on April 11 is now fullbloomed. Here are todays photos for ID. Marilyn Monroe top-left. Second bloom, third bud.

Looks like a fabulous rose, and when you do find out what it is, would you let me know? My impression is that 'Souv. de la Malmaison' is more double, more cupped, and more of a flesh color and less distinctly apricot than your beauty. I have SDLM, but it's only been in the garden one year and hasn't done much so far. As far as 'Treasure Trove' is concerned, keep in mind that it likes to get thirty feet tall. Mine is mighty big, and the general impression is so overwhelming that I've never looked closely at the flowers. Your mystery rose has a more finished look than what I would expect from it, but as I say, I've always looked at the plant rather than at the individual flowers, which are mostly up in a locust tree anyway.

Good luck!

Melissa

Thank you and I agree, really the match to SDLM is the pearl and long lasting. I'm astounded having a flower that is beautiful for three weeks!!!!! Mind boggling. I too have ruled TT out. I began simply trying to think what I bought, and then went through my records for a match, but I can't find one. Can a cutting morph to something new? Even the basal is making buds! Shall I send you a cutting and see what it does for you?

I have both SDLM (just blooming) and the climbing SLDM (in bud). So I'll give my opinion that yours doesn't look like my SDLM. My SLDM has many more petals, buds aren't as apricot as yours, nor does it open as much. Mine is more powder pink with no yellow/apricot shadings.
I'll report later about climbing SDLM.

BTW yours is VERY pretty.

Because only c. 1/3rd of the identification of a rose is done by looking at the flower, I would say your rose is a Hybrid Tea, because of the Hybrid Tea foliage your rose exhibits. Also, 'Treasure Trove' was bred from 'Kiftsgate' and both roses blooms in clusters.
Your rose has:
H.T. foliage, which is plain, smooth, thicker in substance than Tea class foliage and usually has 5 leaflets per leaf, though 7 is not uncommon.
To date a Hybrid Tea, color and size of bloom are useful traits to examine. Flame hues were not introduced into modern roses until 1900, and a predominantly peach colored H.T. would have not appeared before then.
Other traits exhibited include:
Size of H.T. blooms, as a class, increased after the 1950's and even more after 1970. Post 1900 H.T.s can be as wide as 5" or even c. 6" wide.
Summary
H.T. foliage, bloom is predomintantly peach, and appears to be very large.
I'd date it as a post 1970 Hybrid Tea, and suggest you post on the modern rose page, with the diameter of the bloom in millimeters, because someone who grows H.T.s will probably know what cultivar it is.

Thanks for sharing your rose,
Luxrosa

I have SDLM in a pot. It's flowers are the classic, quartered type, don't last long. Yours reminded me of rosa gigantea, which I've never seen, but it pictures. It's the muddled center that looks similar.
Here's a picture of one.

Thank you all for your help. This is frustrating, but also wonderful, as I love this rose more and more every day and am grateful to have it, who ever she is. I've spent hours looking through my books and catalogs yet find nothing with all the characteristics. I have all my records of everything I've ordered, plus, Uncommon Rose I forgot to mention above, because I desperately miss them so very much! Many of my roses were thanks to their afordable yet strong healthy bands. I loved Uncommon Rose and thank them for so much perfume and beauty in my humble garden. The new basal is already 30 inches with five tiny buds coming out. Is it just me or is this plant exceptionally fast growing as well as perfumed, long lasting, exquisite peach color to pale pink, and a pearl sheened beauty?
