Can anyone help me identify this rose?

13 years ago

I've fallen in love with a neglected rose growing behind my rental (an old 1920's Victorian). It's a fairly large plant with long droopy canes, large thorns, and semi shiny leaves. The blooms (double?) are a beautiful butter yellow with an amazing scent. Moving at the end of the month and decided to take some cuttings. I'm new to the rose world and would really appreciate your help identifying it. :)

Here's a pic of the plant itself:

And here are some of its beautiful flowers:

Your rose looks similar to a rose in the Sacramento Cemetery, our found rose, "Dr Peck's 12th Avenue Smoothie" is thornless, once blooming. Very fragrant. This found rose is thought to be the same as the Charles Lawson in commerce. Below is a link to a photo I took in the cemetery a few years ago. I liked this rose so much that I propagated it and planted it in my yard even though it is a once bloomer. It is quite vigorous and now takes up the back corner along the fence.

I agree that X-Rated has similar color, but the bloom shape on mine is very differrent than the rose in the photo, more like a little hybrid tea. The rose in question has globular blooms, elongated peduncles and thornlessness which makes me suspect it could be an old garden rose of some kind. Maybe a polyantha or one of the Koster series. At any rate, my suggestion would be to pose the same question on the Antique Roses forum and see if one of their heritage rose experts recognizes your pretty little rose: Here is a link that might be useful: Antique Roses

I agree with len511. It has multiple clusters of flowers like a floribunda or grandiflora. It has a spicy scent, not a traditional rose scent. It has bloomed profusely all season long without a break. Blooms are frilly looking, not a hybrid tea shape when open. I'll put up some more pics...

@tozmo1 Scentuous does look similar. I read somewhere in houzz that someone just bought Scentuous from Lowes recently so it might be! @rosecanadian @MasLovesRoses_z8a GA I agree, they are gorgeous! I actually got another one so now I have 3! The thing is, I want to plant them in the front flowerbed as a rose hedge but since I don't exactly know what this rose is, I won't know its growth habit and how big it can get. Also, I bought 3 Moonlight in Paris rose from Lowes as well last week and the bloom is almost exactly the same as this LPP! Weirdly, this one does not look like MIP either. Could both of them be mislabeled? Now I have 6 of basically the same roses, lol. Here is a picture of MIP (color is a bit washed out but they have the same pink color in real life.

It looks like Teasing Georgia. I love those flowers in the vase ! Would you please let us know how tall the bush is, and what zone you are in? I always like Teasing Georgia but I'm concerned about how tall it might get for my abundant rain zone 5a area.

Thank you Strawberryhill! The bush is 7ft+ and in zone 7a. Several sites say that Teasing Georgia can be trained as a short climber and is very black spot resistant. Maybe you should give it a try ;)
