Fragrant Rose w/o thorns
Comments (9)Patty, many of the old garden roses are referred to as once-bloomers because they have only one flush of flowers per year, usually in spring or early summer. Roses like gallicas, damasks, and albas. The rest of the year they don't bloom. They are often extremely fragrant, with damasks in particular being famous for fragrance (and still grown for perfume-making). There are some exceptions that do rebloom, as in they will have more than one flush of flowers in the year. Most modern roses, such as hybrid teas are repeat bloomers. With once-blooming just think of a cherry tree--it has one bloom cycle each year and then sets fruit afterwards. Below is a link with a description of some of the old garden roses. It's a little out of date but much of the info is still valid. As to the label, well they aren't standardized.;) Usually they do give the name of the rose but they may or may not state the class or whether the rose reblooms (in the same year). Many of the roses sold in big box stores particularly are modern roses, such as hybrid teas or floribundas, which repeat flower, so most people assume any rose they buy will rebloom. Even if you no longer have the label, you might be able to ask the store where you bought the roses what varieties they carried. Maybe they'll know.;) Or you can also try posting some pictures here of the overall plants, with some closeups of the leaves and the canes.

Comments (12)Oh boy, oh boy!! Love OVER THE MOON and OSIANA. I actually have a rose that looks very similar to OSIANA but I am not sure. Maybe we can post our 'UNKNOWNS' under the 'Us'. Might be very interesting to see how many 'no name' roses we have.(?) I only have one 'O' to contribute - here's OKLAHOMA again. (Don't remember seeing it quite as dark as Beth's and Kate's.)
