Comments (6)"Hoovb's" Tiffany guess was inspired! There are a lot of similarities. But I've never had Tiffany in my garden. Also, I don't think this rose is a hybrid tea; it's more floribunda in type. And I think Tiffany has thorns, which this mystery guy does not. However, my mystery rose is still a "juvenile" and developing its adult characteristics. Thanks for the idea. Jallecta...See MoreHelp Identifying the Mystery "Tom's Smelly Rose"
Comments (6)This won't help much, but this looks a lot like the rose severally study-named: "McBride Plot," "McCarty Plot," "William Daniels," "Bud Jones," "Gilbert Plot," and "Jeri's Mystery" -- and probably several other study names. The color is very changeable, and it is often much darker. A suggested name for that rose is 'Geant des Battailles' (sp?) but that is disputed. The only thing we know for sure is that it's been found all over. Quite the survivor. Jeri...See MoreHELP Me Identify this Mystery Rose
Comments (26)There was a thread here at dome point about fragrance and someone pointed out that the scent described as myrrh in roses has nothing to do with the myrrh resin. But now I don’t remember the details. Some people think is smells like turpentine and others like dirty diapers. Other people think it is a wonderful fragrance. Goes to show everyone’s nose picks up something different. My DH and I were at the Descanso Garden last summer. He suddenly said what is that wonderful fragrance! Then he pinpointed it to a nondescript plant with purple flowers. I smelled absolutely nothing from that plant. Not any scent at all!...See MoreMystery Rose... Help Me Identify This Rose
Comments (0)HELP!!! Do you know the name of this rose? A neighbor grows it but has no idea what it is. It is full of blooms and buds since beginning of March in Coastal Southern, California. It was newly planted last year. She pruned it down in winter, but it’s now about 4+ feet tall. The plant grows in a full vase shape, and has lots of buds and blooms. What’s so striking about this rose is now early it blooms. looks like a hybrid Tea or Grandiflora in form... (has the V-Vase shap form... but is pretty full with leaves and blooms. It has lots of stems that bloom in clusters of 3 like a Floribunda. There’s not much fragrance... very light barely noticeable. It seems to be a very vigorous grower, prolific bloomer and super healthy plant. Seems to be the kind of roses that that thrives on little care. My neighbor says she doesn’t fertilize or really do anything to it. She’s new to growing roses and is amazed it’s doing so well, as she does nothing specially to it other than give it water. Here are some pics of the blooms, leaves and whole plant....See Morelaiquatan
