Bolero (Meidelweis/Bolero 2004) floribunda rose bred by Jacques Mouchotte (France, before 2003) and introduced in France and US in 2004. The 3-inch white cupped-to-flat, old fashioned blooms have strong fragrance and up to 160 petals. The parents are: seed: Kimono × Sharifa Asma, pollen: Centenaire de Lourdes. This rose blooms all the time and is very healthy in my garden. If you are looking for a white rose with an old rose look, this rose is a must have .

If you search for "Bolero rose" there are 7 different roses with the same name:

1. Bolero (floribunda, Mouchotte/Meilland, 2004) [Meidelweis/Bolero 2004] <== the rose in my garden

2. Bolero (hybrid tea/florist rose, Meilland, 1997) [MEIcauley]: white blend, 100 petals, strong fragrance <== same name for different roses from the same company just to confuse us, LOL.

3. Bolero (climber, Olesen, 1998) [POULbota]: 3.5-inch blush, rose-pink stripes, cream stripes blooms have moderate spice, wild rose fragrance and up to 14 petals.

4. Boléro (hybrid tea, Gaujard, 1934): orange-red, copper shading, yellow undertones blooms have up to 25 petals.

5. Boléro (floribunda, Buyl Frères, 1958): orange blend blooms.

6. Bolero (unknown, McGredy 1964)

7. Bolero (hybrid tea, Pironti, 1963) [POUlbo]: dark pink blooms.

Lady of Shalott (AUSnyson) climbing rose bred by David C. H. Austin (UK, before 2009). The 3-inch apricot-yellow, salmon-pink shading, golden-yellow reverse globular blooms have strong apple, clove, tea fragrance and more than 41 petals. This rose blooms all the time and very healthy in my garden. It's one of my perfect roses.

Marc Chagall (DELstrirojacre) floribunda rose bred by Delbard (France, 2013) and introduced in US by Certified Roses in 2020. The 4-inch pink, yellow stripes, cream stripes, yellow undertones blooms have mild fruity fragrance and are absolutely beautiful. Only in its first year in my garden, and it already belongs to my perfect rose category. Helen

Discovery (CLEbig) shrub rose bred by John Clements (US, before 2004) and introduced in US (2004). The 4-inch soft pink cupped, quartered blooms have mild fragrance and up to 50 petals. This rose repeats well, and the blooms last a long time on a bush in my garden. Helen

Marriotta miniature rose bred by Samuel Darragh McGredy IV (1981). The petals of this rose are so unique that you almost think that it's not a rose. The 1.5-inch blooms have deep pink color with mild fragrance. It's very healthy in my garden and blooms all the time. Helen

Beautiful, Helen! I loved my little Marriotta but it wasn't winter hardy.

joeywyomingz4b Thanks Joey. PalatineRoses offers Marriotta this year, so many people can order it again. It's a very special rose. Lady of Shalott is like Julia Child in orange. It requires minimal care.

@seil zone 6b MI Thanks you Seil. I hear you. Every time I have some problems taking care of my roses, I always tell myself, that's nothing compare with rose gardeners in cold zones. Each rose in your garden is a treasure because it has overcome so much. Helen

Oh Seil that's sad to hear. I've been keeping my eye out for Marriotta but if it isn't going to handle the winter then there isn't much point.

Love your pictures of Bolero. My blooms don’t have the pink center, more a warm cream center. The only complaint I have about Bolero is that it grows slowly. Even the baby bands are busy producing blooms and don’t grow much. I tried nipping the buds but it didn’t help.
