Hi guys and girls :o) Thank you for the advice! I was hoping it would be less complicated... :o/ But it seem that I have to wait the new flowering, then take new detailed pictures to show you. I have seen on HMF the pictures of 'Hugo Roller', but the flower shape is too globular. Flowers on my rose are ever-nodding, as you can easily see in my second picture. The colour in the last picture isn't the rule, I've posted it just to show how much it could be variable. Also, there's no records of 'Hugo Roller' in old italian catalogues, and it seems to be the same now everywhere in Europe. I was wondering about Niles Cochet, seeing the two older pictures of it on HMF, who looks almost identical. But I've never see first hand a labeled plant of a Cochet family (so curious, even Walter Branchi have never had these roses in his very large collection of Teas and Chinas...) Another quality of my rose is in her petals: they are very thin, like 'Mlle Franziska Frueger' or 'Mme Lambard'. That's why, I think, it balls so frequently. I have in my garden since few weeks, start growin', Maman Cochet: in a few more weeks, I'll be able to see if her foliage and flower shape are the same of my rose or not... Ciao!:o) Maurizio

Not sure I killed it, but the canes are dead to the ground (scaped and they are brown and dead), but the roots are white and moist and look alive. I can't tell if it's grafted or own root. It isn't About Face I dont think--my rose is quite large, clearly a hybrid tea and not a floribunda. I don't think it's the other suggestions here either as the petals are very straight--they don't curl back as they open and the suggestions do. Wonder if I will ever be able to replace!!

Yes, it's a beautiful rose, but I'm skeptical. This rose was introduced in the US under two names back in 2015, and at this point, there are only three growers on HMF with photos, and two favorite votes. If the rose is so great, why isn't Kordes flogging it all over the place and why are not more people at various world locations growing it? Sounds like another Blue Bayou to me. Diane

Would need a close up on the blooms, especially that newer one on the right of the first photo. At first glance, it could be the hybrid tea, Signature, but that's a SWAG at best without a close up.
