Rose identification help needed
Comments (6)Seil - I’d be very surprised if it turned out to be Oklahoma. These blooms are a little smaller and, I agree with you, much pinker than I’ve seen on mine. The form before it opens is much more globular than Oklahoma too. On top of that, it’s survived 5b winters with no protection at all. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!...See MoreRose identification please
Comments (6)Hi Sarah, It is actually quite difficult to ID a rose just from a photo of the bloom. My suggestion would be to ask your friend what varieties these are -- if they came from their garden it is likely that they know. That would be the most reliable way to determine ID. If your friend does not know then things like the bush habit, how often it blooms, what the thorns look like and how thorny it is, the leaves of the plant, the buds, and the backs of the blooms where they attach to the stem are all things that can help with an identification. Given the wide commercial availability of David Austin roses, my guess is that at least one of these is a David Austin rose. The last one might be Bolero (Meilland) but with slightly fewer petals than normal. This can happen if the weather is hot or if the rose is having a rough week for some reason....See MoreRose identification
Comments (2)This rose is going to be difficult to ID, because it looks like a lot of roses... have a look at Pink Enchantment (by Kordes) -- I don't think this is it, but it has a similar enough look that you might enjoy it in your garden. :)...See MoreRoses Identification please?
Comments (9)Yasitha, I am admiring your roses, particularly the dark, velvety one. It looks like some stripes are emerging on one petal. It reminds me of some rare stripe roses that are sports and often revert to the non-striped form. The blooms on these roses are usually pretty small. Take a look at HMF (Help Me Find Roses) search for striped roses. Check out Simsalabim (hope I've spelled that correctly). Another neat one is Memphis Music. Good luck with growing your beautiful roses. Diane...See Morejerijen
