Nope. :)

It was bred in Germany.

MAJORA, aka HEIMATMELODIE?

Nope. This rose has a very strong smell. To me it smells like bananas.

Carol

It's Acapella.

Carol, you're not supposed to tell us what it is! Give us more clues! I would've tried some more but I got busy...

lol - been watching this :) seems like Carol got tired of waiting. ;))))

Yeah, sorry. I guess I thought there was little interest. Sorry. :)

I was still looking, in between weeding, mulching and dead heading! I thought it might be Kordes Perfecta, but wasn't too convinced, so hence more research.

Koredes Perfecta - gotta look that one up. .... Yeah, you're right. The first picture (quite dark pink) in HMF looks just like it.

Sorry if I ruined the fun. :)

Carol

Acapella doesn't seem to have made it here, but the Tantau/Evers roses that do are excellent. Melodye

I haven't had a lot of time to search but I was still checking in now and then.

Who's going to go next?

Give Carol another go :-)

Okay... grin...:)

But, I don't have all that many roses. But here goes:

I won't be so impatient...so take your time everyone :) :)

Carol

MARIA TERESA?

Just looked up Maria Teresa - they sure look similar!!

My rose is a shrub rose.

Carol

I need another clue, Carol! I haven't had any luck so far.

Very strong fragrance, and it was bred in the U.K.

Carol

I'm going to guess Spirit of Freedom.

Not an Austin. :)

Carol

Named after a saint.

Been lurking since you posted you pic on 2 Feb Carol. Wow this one has been going for ages!!! If it is the rose I'm thinking of, did you get it from Hortico? It is the only source listed on HMF in your neck of the woods;)

Sharlene

No, I got it from Palantine last summer.

The second part of the name starts with an "E."

Carol

St. Ethelburga?

YES!!!! Halleluia!!!!!

Thank you for putting me out of my misery!! LOL LOL

Your turn!

Carol

ha,ha, ha! I'm glad I could put you out of your misery. I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to check in. Let's try this one.

Old Baylor?

It does look similar, but mine is over 100 years older.

Burnet Double White?

Carol

no, but it really looks similar. This one is a polyantha

White Pet?

Closer, but mine has less petals and was bred in France.

Cecile Brunner?

nope, this one is white and has lily of the valley fragrance.

I meant to say Cecile Brunner white. :)

Madame Portier Durel?

Carol

I thought you may have meant it. MPD is a hybrid wichurana. Mine was bred by Rambaux in 1879.

Anna Maria Montravel?

I looked at that one earlier, but it looked pink. :)

Carol

Yes, you are correct! Mine would sometimes start out with light pink buds, but were always white when open.

Oh. I see. :) You have some unusual roses!!

Here's mine:

Dunno what it is, but it sure is purdy!

Watching the back and forth between Countrygirl and Carol is entertaining!

:)

It's a hybrid tea where its two names start with the same letter.

Carol

Pink Peace?

Good guess.

It was bred by Tantau.

Carol

Lady Like?

Yes!!! Lady Like!!! Good one!

Your turn!

Hannah Gordon?

NICOLE?

Betty Boop?

Is it a miniature? I have seen some miniatures on the show tables that looked like that.
