Need help identifying this old rose
Comments (18)It would be helpful to know if your rose is fragrant, and, if so, how you would describe the fragrance and its intensity. Other helpful clues: Does the color fade? Do the petals drop, or does the plant's appearance benefit from dead-heading? What about prickles/thorns? I can't say that I have even a hunch re the identity of your rose, but several elements of your photographs (esp the foliage and the few small, colorful hips), as well as your decription of growth habit (rather short, but very lax canes) reminded me immediately of the Bourbon, 'Marquis (aka Marquise) de Balbiano'. The photos of MdB at HMF are not, IMO, typical (at least not for my growing conditions). A better image, I think, is found in the archives of Ashdown/Paul Zimmerman Roses. Paul Z makes reference to MdB's value as a pillar rose in warm climates. The late Mike Lowe once commented that MdV, if it were more hardy, would be a contender for the very finest of ALL pillar roses. It is, indeed, a wonderful rose that deserves much more attention. A note to anyone whose garden welcomes Bourbons: Consider welcoming MdB. Here is a link that might be useful: MdB @ Paul Zimmerman Roses...See MoreHelp identify an old rose - quartered, reflexed, pink, fragrant,
Comments (2)That really does look like it! More like it than any other flower I have researched. Thanks for the tip. It has been described as "large flowered" and "to 5 feet" and "climbing". Mine do not fit that description, but they are in a poor location, where a tree has grown up above them. I'll see what happens when I move them. I look forward to more contributions . . . Thanks,...See MorePlease help me identify this 'old' rose my Granddaddy planted
Comments (0)The rose was planted by my Granddaddy Mosley (Mother's father) many years prior to his death in 1982. While I don't remember when, I saw the rose many times while growing up. It was planted in an old tire beside the house. It didn't receive much sun in it's later years. I spoke to my Mother this morning, she believes Granddaddy planted it between 1950 and 1955. After his death, the rose received little or no care. In the spring of 2008 my mother's friend, Preston, took the only green shoots off the old stalk and was successful in rooting them in water. He planted the 2 which survived in front of my Mother's old flower bed. I took some cuttings from them this spring and have 2 surviving in pots right now. Below are pictures of this rose. Please help me identify it. As I have said, it is a very resilient rose and one I hope to propagate and distribute among my family. Meet Rosa Lee and Durham -- My Grandmother and Granddaddy (that is what we call these roses. Rosa Lee is a bit puny Rosa Lee's bloom This is Durham - blooming more than Rosa Lee and few yellow leaves Close-up of Durham Durham blooms and buds ingrid_vc and petaloid postulated this may be a President Herbert Hoover and suggested I follow-up on HelpMeFind. I appreciate their assistance. They also suggested it may be Talisman, Signora and Sutter's Gold. After comparing the pictures (I can't see the roses right now as they are 200 miles from me), I can't tell about the coloration BUT seems to me the "real thing" is much more pink. My color seeing abilities are not the greatest but I think they are solid pink. I thought this might be the best forum to post in --- didn't see it until I had already posted in the main forum....See MoreYellow mark on roses, please help identify?
Comments (2)It could be a number of things including RMV. It's hard to tell from just one leaf. Even if it is RMV stop worrying about it. RMV is not a fatal condition for the rose and almost ALL roses sold in the USA have it. From that photo I'd say your rose is exceedingly healthy, happy and beautiful!...See Morephoebe368
