Hi Everyone..... Well, certainly some of the photos of Arizona on HMF look like mine, but there seems to be a huge variation in the bloom coloration and form on there. Whereas mine is more a deep orange and tightly-petalled, some of the photos show blooms more of the yellow coloring, and some with red to the edges. I wish I could see a bloom of Arizona in person! Because of the inconsistency of the photos I'd have to say its a strong contender, but I still am puzzled about the lack of fragrance of mine. Arizona is reported to be fragrant....mine definitely is not. Since I know detecting fragrance differs from person to person I would not base this on just my opinion alone. Dozens of people took sniffs of my rose all throughout the summer at different times and no one detected any scent whatsoever. Roses right next to it did have fragrance, so I don't think its the soil or the climate that caused the lack of scent. It just isn't fragrant at all.... I am under the impression that Jung's does get all their roses from Edmund's....they don't grow any themselves. Therefore, they couldn't help me with the identity. Thank you again to everyone for your help! I am amazed so many people jumped in to help! Celeste

The top one is definitely the Ambridge rose. I remember the vendor calling it celebrity or something to that effect. But that is the right rose. Jadis is not the correct one as my rose is neither thorny nor a hybrid tea? I was told it was some kind of multiflora it that helps.

Thank you greatly Olyagrove, I believe you are right. Looked up pictures on Fortuniana and the leaves look identical. Maybe I can try my hand at budding now. Thanks again.

It could be any number of varieties, but the popular Paul's Scarlet Climber and Dr. Huey (rootstock) are two that come to mind. HelpMeFind is a good search site, with photos and information: Here is a link that might be useful: Paul's Scarlet on HMF (click on photos tab)
