Oops! What I meant to say in my last post is this: This is not the same rose as the other picture. The fragrance and leaves are both very different. Size of the bush was also very different. This bush was small (although it could have been cut back)

Okay... now that we have more info, plus a photo of the opened-up bloom, we now know the rose isn't any of my very-preliminary guesses. In view of the new info and photo - and your suspicion that the rose is a grandiflora - I'll guess that it might be Candelabra. I have one Candelabra bush in my yard ...and sometimes its blooms look a lot like your opened-bloom photo. Please review the group of Candelabra photos at HelpMeFind and you'll see what I mean. Here's the URL for the photos: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?i=A13995&tab=10 (Or use the Link at the end of this post.) NOTE: the final photo is by Karl Bapst - who's bloom-shots are often are waaay too "blue." Here is the ARS description-data for Candelabra: Orange & orange blend [ARS ob] blooms. Slight fragrance. 20 to 25 petals. Average diameter 3". [Mine range from 2 - 4 inches.] In my opinion, my Candelabra's FULLY-MATURE leaves are dark-green and semi-glossy. Less-mature leaves are medium-green. Left on the bush, the bloom-color ages to a semi-deep slighty "orangish" pink (as you'll see in the HelpMeFind photos). SOMETIMES the blooms fade to a lighter edging. I used the emphasized word "sometimes" because the blooms usually shatter from rainfall - or even a moderate breeze - before they can age to the light-edged coloration. As a cut-flower, the petals tend to fall off in just 2 to 4 days, depending on the age of the bloom when it was cut. Therefore I don't include Candelabra in my bouquet-gifts to neighbors, friends, & passers-by. Unlike Gingersnap, which can have a similar bloom-color in the early stages, Candelabra's blooms don't fade toward apricot. Time for the obligatory disclaimer: This is just a guess at your rose's identity, based on what we've seen and heard so far about what is clearly an "immature" plant. (And of course, your mentioning that it seems to be a grandiflora.) Regards, JohnReb Here is a link that might be useful: Candelabra photos at HelpMeFind dotcom

Good suggestions! Update: there’s a mild fruity scent now that it opened completely, but as the morning passed, so did the scent

I am pretty certain that after a little more research and a few more visits to observe the blooms as they mature, that I have identified this rose. I believe it to be the early Austin English Rose - Bibi Meizoon", 1989 release. Some more images of blooms from today that are fully open now. I kept looking at the blooms and they reminded me very much of The Reeve. Sure enough, when I looked up the parentage, it is "The Reeve X Chaucer".. This rose has a lot of Gallica/Hybrid China close up in its pedigree through Chaucer and Constance Spry. Interestingly, it would seem that if is had been bred 150 years ago, it's genetics would probably qualify it as a Hybrid Perpetual. This is a rare one. I have never seen a live plant before and never known anyone who has grown it. So I will watch it with interest for the remainder of the season to see how it performs. Right now all three plants are covereed in huge globular gorgeous pink blooms. We did have a pretty good rain two days ago and a few of the blooms were a bit balled, but most opened fine. I suspect that this one would ball badly in a wet climate. But she very much likes the Okanagan Valley with our dry warm climate.. Cheers, Rick
