Name That Rose!

Pink, Yellow, White, Red & Orange

Hello, I moved to a place that basically kept cows but they had planted lots of different varieties of roses along the fence. They had chopped the canes down almost to the ground in winter. Several have reverted to root stock (probably were grafted) and one or two died they were chopped so severely. I gave them compost and regular water and they seem to be recovering but I am trying to identify them slowly but surely. All are rebloomers. Red pink and yellow are 4-5 foot tall, white is 3-4 and orange small 2-3 foot tall. Red is very large size bloom and fragrant, has lots of petals and tends to cup (this was due to late spring rains, I think). Pink is slightly fragrant and not so many petals. Yellow is very striking type of yellow and opens so you can see inside (excuse my lay terminology - I can get a picture of the inside when it bloom again soon) - this picture doesn't do it justice. Orange is a smaller size bloom. I live in California in Zone 9 so roses grow tall here. Here are the photos. These photos are from last summer, I will take more picture this summer and can give better details of each one then - for better identification. Thanks. Linda

I would hazard to guess "Midas Touch" for the yellow and "JFK" for the white. The red could be Chrysler Imperial or Mr. Lincoln but I'm not experienced at telling the dark reds apart. I'm sure someone else will know better.

They look very nice BTW! Lovely foliage on the red.

northspruce, I think you are correct for Midas Touch and the red I think is Mr. Lincoln, but I am not sure about the white - I think I need to wait till it blooms again this year and see how far it opens up. thank you so much - I was really wondering about that yellow one because it is so brilliant yellow.

Doesn't look like powdery mildew in the photos. That would be a rather rapid onset, anyway. For some reason sap isn't getting up the stem to the leaves and flowers, and the plants have gone into a heavy wilt. Deconovice, how big were the pots that you set them out from? It might be that their root balls were too small for their tops. Perhaps the plants were damaged in the process of setting them out. They look like they don't have enough water, which would be a bit strange if you have been watering them and it has been raining. If the soil is waterlogged, they may have drowned. Plant roots need to breathe. You might explore the soil around the plants with your finger to see how moist it is. If their root balls are immersed in pure wood chips, that could be the problem. This may be a bit moot by now, because the plants in question may be dead by now. But it would be good to know why, so you can avoid the problem with your next plants. MM

I agree that the red is Chrysler Imperial. I had it, Mirandy, and Mr Lincoln in the same garden in WA. Mirandy is a different red, Mr Lincoln a different form. I think your last one is either Peace or Chicago Peace. Blossom color on both varies with temperature & acidity of soil. Even the spring & fall bloom colors will be different. I have a climbing Peace that never manages a spring bloom due to winter die-back but this year produced a fall bloom and the color was exactly like that of the rose in your picture. Sorry, no pix of it.

Hi Linda, I had a mental block before but perhaps check out "Secret" or more likely "Moonstone" for the first one.

The yellow sure is bright, I love it. If you can get some more shots of them all with open blooms it might make it easier. I'm really just educated guessing here. :0)

Hello,

I can't believe with all the thousands of roses people can identify them. - Secret and Moonstone look so close. Thank you Northspruce. I will take more pictures of this one to try and narrow it down.

I am going to make a point of taking more detailed pictures of all the roses this year. Since I have pruned them, composted them, fertilized them and mulched with bark - they are all doing so much better this year. I have about 30 or so planted along the fence and I don't have name for any of them. It would be nice to have a stake alongside each noting the name as I am sure people will be asking what the varieties are. I believe most are hybrid teas. I did transplant three next to the house to complete the fenceline planting. I also planted one Angel Face climber - but the blossom is so pale I am not sure it is correct - since it faces west I am wondering if it is fading due to sunlight. I will have to take a picture of this one too to submit to all of you experts.

thanks again.

Linda

Secret is fragrant, Moonstone only light, or no, fragrance. I say Secret for the top. And I too think the white is JFK.
