Thanks so much for the quick ID! I checked and that's indeed what it is. I think it's going to recover now that it's not coming out of the bottom of a clematis. It's actually going to get some sun this year.

What it looks like to me is S. ehrenbergii but there are others that look the same to me. I am making this guess on the basis of the way it grows at the base of the plant. S. robusta grows the same way, and so does S. powellii so really its just a guess, it would depend on a lot of measurements, and channel. Tip measurment as well. Measurments must be taken, and flower examined carefully. What does the skin feel like. Sandpaper? Norma

Beth, I wrote to Ghita Krage, the Marketing Manager at Poulsen Roser to see what she thought of your rose. She said it is difficult to tell, but her best guess is that is the new rose Lafayette 2015 Hit®. You won't be able to see it on their website before May 1st due to registrations and patents applications. She said it is a PATIOHIT® rose, but some American growers grow it as a PARADE® rose. Lafayette 2015 Hit® Sales name Lafayette 2015 Hit® Variety name Poulpah081 Collection PatioHit® Introduction year 2015 Flower colour Apricot blend (with tones of other hues) Flower description Double Flower size Between 5 and 8 cm.

Hi there, thanks for responding. The third pix does not have a faint edge coloration. It's smaller than the bird nest but narrower leaves. I'm posting a picture with my Robusta, hanii and the one with the edge coloration for reference. Ooh, do you know the name of the one with edge coloration too on the bottom of first pix(while on the subject)? the second pix is of the sans in question next to the hanii. Thanks!
