Am I right in assuming this is a tea rose? I wonder what its true identity is.

Yes, it according is.

Here is its listing in HMF. It has a little more information on it. I don't know if it's significant, but in my climate it gets darker spots of pink on it. My Angel Face does the same thing. I don't know why or what it's called but I just think of them as freckles. ;)

Here are some additional pictures Ingrid.

Freckles. :)

Typical bud

Malcolm -- What do you know about this rose? A sport, maybe, of Mrs. Dudley Cross?
It appeals to me -- but MDC mildews heroically here -- and if this might be related to her, it probably would as well.

Thank you Malcolm! I had no idea. I guess if it has to have symptoms, at least they are tolerable ones. That being said, I would rather eradicate a disease if I could so the plants will be as strong and happy as possible. I guess I'll be googling that this afternoon. :)

Jeri, it has never had any other symptoms of mold or mildew. It is one of my cleanest roses.

But there is a huge, huge difference between FL and CA

It's beautiful, suncoastflowers, whatever its true identity.

I love it! The spots are pretty even if they're 'bad' lol. I need to get it. A Key West found rose! Wow it can go with my Key West chickens! One of my naughty KW rescue hens just hatched a bunch of chicks she hid out in the woods the other day. I think she needs a KW rose lol.

Is that chicken nugget eat box a gentle reminder to try not to be do naughty? LOL

.... and it's hard to be mad at her for being a good mama!

She is a good mama. KW hens are the best mamas. She was just naughty for hiding in the woods with eggs where something could have eaten her lol.

Beautiful rose and adorable chicks! Lisa

Looking back at that first photo, I thought it looked a lot like this:

Oh, wow, Key West Rock, looks beautiful. I love the freckles on it too. Geezs, I wonder if you want to get rid of the fungus ? Wonder does it harm the rose ?

Jasmin , I was laughing seeing your key West chickens in a nuggets box. 2 words...Too Cute !

Jeri, I have no idea of its relationship to Mrs. Dudley Cross. I do know that it has, at times, been sold under that name in Florida. But it is certainly not -- flower form is different, and of course, this one has prickles. There are numerous roses that were grown in the Florida Keys, probably latest 19th or early 20th century, on their own roots, that became nicknamed "rock roses." Among them are Louis Philippe, Old Blush, Maggie, and this one. But as far as I know, no one has ever identified this one with even a probable name.

What about the rose " Rubens"? I noticed it while scrolling through the "R's" in the Rose Gallery forum.

I got Rubens a month or so ago. Its doing really well. Its a fast grower.

Jasmin, I had this pic like a few weeks ago. Not related to anything but more about with your chickens above ( chic in a chicken nugget Bix).

Then we saw this cute chicks

Sorry, just have to do this...lol

Is that at Tractor Supply? I was there the other day and the baby ducks!!!! Oh my. They were so cute!

Haha Jin that's so cute! Sooo did you get any chicks? lol

My daughter beg me so bad. I wish I can but not allowed to due to city ordinance.The chicks are so, so adorable. Maybe , if I buy a house outside the city limits, I would buy it in a heartbeat and horses.

But thinking of the giant chicken made me think of you.

Flowers, I went to Supply place and got Alfalfa. I did not buy any roses, it's was extremely hard thing to do.
