Which Rose is this?

9 years ago

Hi All~ hope you can help. I have 2 rose bushes that I'm pretty sure are fairytale Kordes roses. The first one is about 2-3 ft tall, has medium pink flowers in a spray about 4 inches in diameter when fully open, no noticeable scent and burgundy/green new growth with dark green shiny, healthy leaves.The buds show color as dark salmony pink before opening to a medium pink. I think it is probably Cinderella but I haven't been able to find any info on the color of new growth.
Any help in id-ing this rose is really appreciated.

the second rose is about 4 ft tall, same age, own root. I think it might be Elegant Fairytale. It blooms in sprays, is a lighter pink, the flowers are about 4 inch diameter fully opened and the buds are pale pink to almost white before opening. It also has no discernible scent.
Thanks for any help with the id of these two mystery roses.

Rose orders: which rose are you most looking forward to receiving

Funny you should say that you expect most people to say, "all of them"; that's exactly what I was thinking. Ok. If I have to narrow it down a bit, I think the roses I'm most excited about getting are Eugenie Guinoisseau (I've been wanting a moss and this is the one I'm trying), Lullaby (sounds beautiful), Madame Cornelissen (been looking forward to this one for a while), and Duchesse de Grammont(been wanting this one for who knows how long). How's that for a narrowed list? I didn't even include Adam, Madame Wagram or Anne Marie de Montravel all of which I'm very excited about. There are more but I'm really trying to keep with the spirit of the original post.

Which Roses Do Not Drop Petals?
Q
Comments (23)
Yes, I'd agree that the degree to which a rose hangs onto its petals is more a matter of petal structure and genetics of the rose than the type of rose per se. Stiff, high substance petals (like Dream Come True) can last in their bloom form until the whole bloom falls apart and that can be several days. Anything that is considered good for cutting or a "florist" or "exhibition" rose tends to hang onto its petals longer than those that do not. While more HTs are considered florist roses than other types, that doesn't necessarily mean that HTs as a class are better at hanging onto their petals in general - it's just because the buying public expects that form in their cut roses. One of the most lasting blooms I can think of is Acropolis, which I think is a shrub. Still, the blooms stay on the bush forever and eventually age to a very pleasant parchment tone of pink after maybe 10 days. If you're looking for roses that don't blow quickly you really just have to check around within the types of roses. Like everything else in rose growing (e.g. black spot resistance, bloom frequently), blowing quickly varies a lot among roses within a certain class. Some subtypes of roses like Austins have a reputation for blowing quickly, but as mentioned above they were bred for this so that's not surprising. Even among these, I find that Austins like Molineux or Darcey Bussell hang onto their petals pretty well, at least average times. Cynthia

If you were a rose, which rose would you be?

I would be the double delight. Double Delight, a hybrid tea rose with a long season of bloom, The double blossoms have a rich, creamy white to pale pink center with deep, ruby edging. They have a bushy habit, growing to about 4-5 feet with a 2-3 foot spread. Double Delight shows good disease resistance, although less so in wet weather, which also does in the blossoms. Expect a sweet, spicy scent. Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.bigleagueplayersclub.com/3clicks/published/9907/16436/

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try countryrosegirl. I know our yard wouldn't look like it does if the 2 of us didn't work as a team to make it so. Be aware that Deb says I am sexy and I know she is just saying that to be kind to an old man :) Pauline, I couldn't believe how Deb had been treated when we met. One of my proudest moments was when her 5 year old son asked her why she didn't cry all the time anymore :) I should note that I have received much more than I have given in our relationship. I consider myself (know I am) the lucky one. Leslie, I was just teasing Harry. I knew what he meant :) Funny thing is.... I knew when I met Deb that she would find someone better for her and get tired of putting up with my ornery, uuhhh, self. I knew I was shooting myself in the foot giving her ego a boost. Advertising how wonderful she was would make that happen faster but she deserved so much more than the treatment she was getting. Had to do the right thing by her even though it would cost me. Could not imagine her putting up with me a year. 23 years should qualify her for sainthood LOL. Florence, the more self confident she becomes.... the more attractive she is :) Princess Debbie, I like the sound of that. Thank you Seil, Deb says Hot Romance looks great.... I think you got me in trouble :) She says Sweet Arlene is a sexy rose. I was told that I agree with her when I rolled my eyes. What have I done? digger

My Cinderella looks like your second one. I don't grow Elegant, though. And I do remember that Cinderella's blooms looked different when she was young and short (fewer petals, smaller, not nearly as cupped as later blooms).

But that second one is what my Cinderella looks like now, all grown up and kind of a monster :)

Hi Meredith~Thanks for your response. I didn't realize there is a rose id section. I'm a newbie here and haven't really learned the ropes yet. Mine hasn't grown into a monster yet :) I'm hoping she stays a bit more refined.
I'll repost this in the rose id section too to see if someone might have a clue to the identity of the firts rose.
Thanks again for your help and taking the time to respond.

No problem! I peg down the branches that shoot straight up awkwardly (I make a big M with her), and she responds really well to it. She's a monster, but one who looks really great trained, lol. Like REALLY great :) And she repeats very well like that, too! I love her. If she had scent she'd be perfect. I hope that is who you have there :)

The second one looks like my Cinderella as well. However, mine does have a slight fragrance and is not entirely lack of scent.

Thanks Farmerduck. I know one is Elegant and one Cinderella, I just couldn't remember which. To me neither has a scent but my husband can smell roses that I can't really smell so I guess it's just my nose!!
