Can anyone help me identify this rose?
Comments (4)I agree that X-Rated has similar color, but the bloom shape on mine is very differrent than the rose in the photo, more like a little hybrid tea. The rose in question has globular blooms, elongated peduncles and thornlessness which makes me suspect it could be an old garden rose of some kind. Maybe a polyantha or one of the Koster series. At any rate, my suggestion would be to pose the same question on the Antique Roses forum and see if one of their heritage rose experts recognizes your pretty little rose: Here is a link that might be useful: Antique Roses...See Morecan anyone identify this old rose?
Comments (11)Definitely not Blanc Double de Coubert. That rose is nearly all white. This one is a very pale pink. Thanks for trying to ID it. From what I remember from last year,it only blooms in the spring. The darker one in the other picture also seems to only bloom in the spring. This is really a shame since they are both so beautiful and smell heavenly. Nice strong rose scent,not like the newer ones that are somewhat washed out in the scent department for the sake of beautiful, long lasting blooms....See MoreCan anyone identify this rose?
Comments (18)John, I'm going to assume that you know that a climbing rose is not like a vine by the fact that you stated that "she didn't have it climbing on anything"; meaning there was no supporting structure for the rose to support itself. I can tell you from experience that Don Juan will outlive most support structures. When the structures do crumble and fall apart, they do exactly what this rose is doing: fall, lean, and grow up again....See MoreCan anyone identify the rose in this photo?
Comments (32)Yes, it's a beautiful rose, but I'm skeptical. This rose was introduced in the US under two names back in 2015, and at this point, there are only three growers on HMF with photos, and two favorite votes. If the rose is so great, why isn't Kordes flogging it all over the place and why are not more people at various world locations growing it? Sounds like another Blue Bayou to me.
