What type of rose is this?

7 years ago

This is one of three rose bushes that are on the property that my husband and I purchased two years ago. It is the one that I admire most and am drawn to most. I would love to know what type of rose this is. Help me please?

Glad that you got an ID for this. I was also going to chime in and say 'Clotilde Soupert' The one in my garden started as a cutting from a plant in a cemetery. Clotilde can be a wonderful survivor.

It looks like a David Austin English rose. http://www.davidaustinroses.com/

I wonder if it might be 'Clotilde Soupert'? Do you have any idea of how old the plant is?

You might want to post this on the antique or regular rose forum if nobody here has any ideas.

Constant, please reply and let us know that you've read the warnings and will do the responsible thing. Some gardeners, most of them, are good stewards of the land and make wonderful neighbors. Others are narrow minded, convinced that they should be able to grow whatever they want on their own property, pretending to be ignorant about the environmental damage that invasive plants can cause. I'm pretty sure that you are one of good ones!

I don't, but the house was built in the 1930's and from what I can tell the original owners had a great love of plants. There are lots of old plants here, there is something about it that makes me feel that it is an old rose. It is wonderfully fragrant like the roses that I remember smelling when I was a child in my grandparents and great grandparents yard. I have been calling it my antique rose just because it feels antique. Lol

I suspect it's 'Clotilde Soupert'. Does it tend to stay short - like around 2 to 2.5 feet?

Don't go entirely by size -- left to "do as it wished", my 'Clotilde Soupert' got a bit bigger, but didn't seem capable of supporting itself in its youth above three feet tall. A much older plant may.

Check the canes. My 'Clotilde Soupert' has completely smooth canes, with prickles restricted to under the leaflets. I'll add that the foliage in your pics does greatly resemble that of my plant.

While not an OGR, I'd certainly call it an antique -- dating from 1888, 'Clotilde Soupert' is over 100 years old.

This rose looks a lot like CS to my eye, too. Like that of your rose, the fragrance of CS is strong and reminiscent of many of our grandparents' gardens. :-) Your rose's bloom is colored like CS, blush-pink inner petals fading to white outer. I find this characteristic to be fairly consistent barring weather oddities. Her remontancy is very good! Carol

Thank you all so much! It is most definitely a Clotilde Soupert. I love this rose! I have two others here on the property that I am unsure about and will post pics when they bloom to ask about them as well. I don't know much about plants but I do have a love for them, especially those that have lived for so long. I definitely need all of your expertise! Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me.

One of the other roses finally bloomed. It has been almost two years since we moved here and this one is only just now blooming for the first time. It was in horrible condition when we found it. Poison Ivy and weeds had grown all up in it. Can anyone tell me what type of rose it is? Here are some pics of it in different phases of bloom.
