Please Help Me Identify these Roses
Comments (2)UNK2 reminds me of Carefree Wonder (Should have more than 17 petals) I don't grow this one (no pic) but the fading of the outward petals is right. See link below. UNK 9 Looks just like Carefree Sunshine (Should have sharp plentiful thorns) I have more pics if you want to see them. Beautiful garden!

Comments (18)I'd agree that it's not CB. My first thought on seeing the first photo was 'New Dawn', but agree that the foliage is not at all right for that rose. Unfortunately, I don't have a good suggestion for what it is....See MorePlease help me identify this rose?
Comments (10)There is a whole group of these cultivars with the two discussed here being but two examples - another name that I think I have seen used for them is Walsh ramblers. Maybe if you do a web search with that term useful hits will come up, with enough photos and descriptions that you can at least start to zero in on which particular one you have. I do not expect 'Dorothy Perkins' to be this dark myself - but I have not checked since coming to this discussion. There are enough different kinds that they can probably be organized into a continuum of levels of pigmentation, with perhaps some enthusiasts calling one of the others 'Dorothy Perkins' by mistake. This is yet another group of garden plants that were apparently widely sold or perhaps traded between gardeners recently enough that existing plants are common on properties yet garden centers seldom have any of them anymore. In my area 'Dorothy Perkins' in particular can even be seen growing on its own, on unoccupied land like a wild rose yet if I remember correctly I have only seen it offered by one local garden center during my decades of frequenting these. And in that case I suspect one of the employees had brought in cuttings from which the finished plants offered were raised by the garden center itself, it also being a large growing operation with extensive facilities in the manner of a wholesale production nursery....See MorePlease help me identify this rose
Comments (22)I know they're meant to be scented, but does anyone with knowledge of the old California roses think this could be Santa Rosa OR Burbank?? (Bit of a wild guess, but after all, it must be SOMETHING!) Are you in California, Emily, by any chance, or do you know where your SIL got her plant from? Is the deeper colour always there or does it develop only at certain times of year? And just another Q it might be as well to check - can you normally smell roses? Pardon my asking; it's just that it's not unusual for different people to not be able to detect certain rose scents (particularly teas, but others too) - and it might make our job a bit easier if this were a scented rose! If and whenever you're able to post photos, clear pics of both mature leaf sets and new growth, canes, prickles, buds at different stages, stipules and a whole mature plant shot might all help get us there. I wonder whether those canes on the left are hoping to get to that fence and climb... Comtesse :¬)...See Moreingrid_vc so. CA zone 9
