Hi, ananashortus. I haven't grown many red roses but this one looks a lot like Mister Lincoln, which I grew years ago. It was very tall, not at all bushy, the blooms were red-crimson (depending on time of year) and normally very fragrant. The form of the blooms and the white stripe on that one bloom look like Lincoln too. I'm curious to see what others think. I also live in a hot climate with mild winters so Lincoln only looked good in the spring and fall.

Sorry, I have no idea, but the round leaves should help in identifying it. I also would suggest posting this question on the general rose forum. It is a really drop-dead gorgeous rose.

Embothrium, yeah the leaves too, look alike there. Portlandmysteryrose, thanks for the comments on Perle d'Or and Cecile B., I love CB, wish I could find it here :( I tried to find some common link between them and Old Blush, but there seems to be none. Still, I wonder what makes them produce leaves like that. All of the bushes, in different locations, are easily recognizable by the foliage alone. As a matter of fact, when I collected cuttings of it, I collected of some others too and had them in a vase for a day or two without flowers, when I got time to plant them, I tried to sort them by varieties. And these were the only ones I can say with 100 percent certainty are well-sorted. I have found and collected Mrs Dudley Cross before, and in most sources describing it in depth, they make note of the unusual foliage. But it's not the case for Old Blush, it seems. Nik, I'm curious, what makes a china rose? I'm not saying it isn't, just want to know so I can identify others when/if I stumble upon them. It does seem to be Old Blush, now by several people's criteria. Thank you guys!

Does it grow like a climber? Kinda looks like AMERICA. If it doesn't climb, then could be something like SEASHELL or SONIA. Without seeing the earlier stage of bloom it's hard to say.
