Can you help me identify these roses?
Hi, I'm new to rose gardening. There are two similarly coloured roses which came with our property that I've always been curious about.
The first has hot pink to reddish pink blooms which open up to reveal pollen in their centres. They have a light 'green' scent, which reminds me a little of tomatoes, and flower from mid Spring to early Summer. The rose grows around 2 metres tall, and produces lots of long new canes which propagate quite well.
Rose #1:
The second has hot pink blooms which are fuller with more petals. They have a more noticeable sweet and 'rosey' scent, and flower from mid Spring to Fall. The rose grows around 1 metre tall. We haven't tried propagating it.
Rose #2:
Both roses are hardy and are mostly left to their own devices (the long new canes of the first rose occasionally need to be trimmed). I live in Ontario, Canada where we have snowy, below freezing Winters. We don't protect either of the roses at that time, but they always grow back.
Edits: Added spacing, photos, and added/removed words and fixed phrasing.

2 years agoI don't think it's John Cabot, it's a bit hard to see but it doesn't appear that the rose in the photo is very thorny, and John Cabot is very thorny. Also I think too many petals and too red.

Can you help identify these roses for me
Comments (2)Foliage on rose 1 reminds me of sunsprite here, but I see what looks like green in the petals - so maybe St Patrick? Check out this site it's a grower site and might help you see what the common roses are....See MoreHelp Identifying Orange Multiflora Rose
Comments (3)From your description it sounds like it's a grandiflora rose and not a hybrid tea. I'm not sure Chris Evert is a match. Take a look at Glowing Peace and see if that looks more like it. Here is a link that might be useful: Glowing Peace at HMF...See MorePlease can you help me identify a rose with sentimental value?
Comments (9)Robert, if you can answer the below questions and requests, you will have much more luck getting the right answer (I would also recommend putting the info on the Antique Roses forum. This is the correct forum for a hybrid tea, but on the Antique Roses forum there seem to be more people who are good at identifying any rose, and happy to help): 1) Where, geographically, did your mother and her grandmother garden? 2) What is the earliest date which you believe your great grandmother grew this rose? (Tiffany, for example, was introduced in 1954. If your great grandmother grew your rose before then, it is not Tiffany). 3) Please tear apart a bloom and count the petals, and let us know how many there are, and whether they are or are not yellow at the base. 4) I presume this rose re-blooms? 5) Could not get at your pictures - Please post a picture of a cane with thorns. 6) Please post a picture of a hip, if you have any. 7) Please post a picture of the entire rose bush (largest one you have). 8) Please post a picture of a bloom which is fully open, but has not dropped its petals yet. Pink roses are the most difficult to identify (because there are more of them), but it is fun trying - Jackie...See MorePlease can you help me identify my rose bush?
Comments (8)Sorry but nobody is going to be able to reliably name a specific double pink rose cultivar using only a picture of one cut flower, without any pertinent background information. But do try the Garden Web rose identification forum - being sure to note the directions in the FAQ section of that forum about what to post for best possible results. Also which cultivar it is won't really have that much to do with how to correct the yellowing. If the lowest leaves are yellowing entirely and starting to drop off most of the time with plants in general that will be a watering issue - either too much or not enough. Again more background about the situation - and more pictures - are needed....See More

2 years agoI just happened upon this thread and want to share my opinion on no. 1: it's not Henri Martin. HM is a moss rose and more upright. And I would say more purple, but that colour is hard to photograph.
Beautiful roses, both of them!
