mystery deep pink rose...

20 years ago

I'm trying to identify a rose I have seen, but unfortunately I have very little to go on. The rose is a deep pink and is kind of saucer shaped when fully open. It has a white reverse and a lovely, quite strong fragrance. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! (-:

Hi
Try going to the treloars roses site as they have a A-z index and someone else kindly suggested this when I wanted my rose identified. Don't know if I ordered the right one but it was great to look through. Their catalogue is excellent too. Warning this practice is addictive.

It's so exciting to find out the identity of an unknown rose! I have quite a few mystery roses from RVR and so far, only one has been "positively" id'd. That's how I came to own my Louise Odier :) Tammy

Sounds like Pinata to me-that's what immediately came to mind on reading your post. The link below contains some pictures of my pinata, showing bloom development/color changes as it ages. I happen to like Pinata a good deal, even though it is a slow grower, but I knew what I was buying when I purchased it-I'm sure it was quite a 'surprise' when yours started to bloom!

It's very pretty but I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to what it might be. There are just too many pinks it could be.

Cynthia, I think you might get more response over on Antiques. They're really good at IDs even if it's a modern rose.

I agree, the site is really easy to access. I also found a few beauties by going to magic garden roses.com.au and was able to find some of those not available on other sites. Thanks for sharing it with us MM. Jan

My sister has a rose called Baronne Edmund de Rothschild which is a deep pink with silver reverse.
Maybe?

Thank you all for the help! This has been driving me crazy for ages! Annie, I think you've got it! Although the picture of that rose on Treloars website looks more orange-y, the picture on 'help me find' is exactly the same shade of pink as the one I've seen, so I think I'll go ahead and order it. Thanks again!

You're welcome. My sister's rose is a good performer, too.
