Could this be “THE GENEROUS GARDENER”?

I think it looks like it, though I only have HMF to go on. I don't grow Gardener. Diane

Its not the generous gardener. i have her and her buds are light pink

I do not grow it but to me it seems just too early to be certain. I would wait until the plant is a bit older and gives you more solid blooms before deciding if it is mislabeled. In help me find the buds range from yellow to very similar to yours so I wouldn’t decide just yet. I do not have a plant to compare the foliage. Maybe @CeresMer Zone 7a NJ coukd take pictures of her foliage and it would help.

Thank you for your comments! It was labeled as “Teasing Georgia” so it’s way off 😂

Just checked HMF, it could be Strawberry Hill!

Yes the shade of pink is a bit reminiscent of straberry hill. Future blooms should clarify it, they will be better formed. sorry I would compare foliages but I discarded all of mine this spring. Strawberry hill here is a blackspot mess

The foliage looks similar to Strawberry Hill. Does the smell sweet?

Gerous gardener for comparison

Idk, my Strawberry Hill is definitely cupped, even in the heat of summer when it has less petals. It doesn't look like it to me based on that bloom BUT if it is, I'd say that's lucky because I really loved the scent and blooms of my SH. Post future blooms!

Did you buy it locally where you could exchange it? it definitely is not Teasing Georgia which I am sure you already know. I hope you can exchange it or return it unless you like the other ones either way. I would want TG if it were for my garden because Teasing Georgia is a great healthy plant and Strawberry Hill has glorious blooms but loses all foliage before June is even here, but i dont know if you have blackspot or if you spray

Ya I got it locally. I’m going to return it tomorrow since I’m still not sure what it is. So far I bought carding mill, Mary rose, Darcey Bussell, golden celebration, and princess Alexandra of Kent. I don’t spray and we have humid weather. I checked our local rose garden last year and PAOK was defoliated in August so I’m not sure if it’s worth it….

I also have a tiny tiny band of Bathsheba and princess Anne. Now I’m debating if I really need TG since the color is similar to Bathsheba.

Btw carding mill has bad mosaic virus… Darcey Bussell and Mary Rose have some signs too. They are all own roots. Oh…Austin…

@ librarian, It actually does not have much scent. But I’m not really good with that either lol

@ CeresMer, it’s probably not Generous Gardener then. The stems are red in your picture.

Guess what? Just found another mislabeled Teasing Georgia at our local nursery. It really looks like Strawberry Hill according to HMF pics. Anyone has this rose? Is it a good one?

I absolutely fell in love with my SH (new last year and very small still) but I have no black spot in my area, idk if you do or not but others say it is susceptible to BS. Good hardiness, intoxicating scent, luminous blooms (and for me clean foliage).

@mischievous, I’m so happy to hear she’s doing great for you! I bought it and we’ll see if she likes our weather lol

I didn't say she's doing great lol. Honestly DA sent my bareroots pretty late last year whenever it was already very hot in June, and it was small as well. So it didn't do much growing last year (got to about 18") but did produce some blooms. Those few blooms were so beautiful and smelled so incredible to my nose that I fell in love with it. It depends on what fragrances you like and/or can even detect, but to me it was definitely mhyrr with honey. I'm hoping it actually grows bigger this year since it's not starting out as a late season bareroot in a heatwave. I don't blame the rose for how it did last summer, this year will be the real test but I have high hopes.

@mischievous, I understand how you feel. I bought a Bathsheba band late in the season last year and it’s still sooooo tiny….lol

Don't worry Bathsheba will catch up. Also teasing Georgia is not truly similar to bath once you see them growing together. I think you need them both!

@vaporvac, I secretly want both but I told my myself they are similar so I only need one lol… the problem is they both take a lot of space based on the pics I saw.Otherwise I will would get TG for sure!

dianela7bnorthal Your blooms and bush beauty of Boscobel are way better than David Austin's catalog. How do you feed Boscobel for the best well-formed blooms ever? Thanks.

Wow!! That one is a definite must now!

Boscobel is a favorite of mine, too.

Thank you very much Straw! I really love those peach pink blooms. They fade to a soft cool pink which makes for an interesting color effect when all the different stages are present on a bush. I just do Osmocote plus indoor/outdoor on everything. When I got those specific blooms I also had placed composted cow and chicken manure around the base of the plant. i love boscobel so much that it is the only rose I am willing to pamper. I am planning on getting a couple of nice large pots for a couple of my plants and be able to feed them and spray them regularly.

The new Eustacia has a softer shade reminiscent of Boscobels tho the shape of the blooms are different. I am keeping an eye on her health and praying she is healthier.

@strawchicago z5: I noticed a huge positive difference when I had time to place composted cow/chicken manure around my plants during late winter. I wish I knew a bit more about my soil here, but I have plans to sell my original house that has my large garden within a year or two so I may just wait to do it at my other place.

Librarian your pictures are exquisite! Those blooms are sooo romantic. I wish I could have a perfectly healthy huge hedge of Boscobel.

Your Boscobel is gorgeous, too, Dianela! I'm glad with all the blackspot pressure that you can get such s beautiful first flush on it. We usually get some blackspot but just a little tiny bit on Boscobel. Not bad. This spring was really wet and I've noticed blackspot on most of my roses that are planted near a fence. I hope they clear up. I'm just waiting to see what happens. Luckily, Boscobel is far from a fence, in a well aired location so it looks good this year, too. I'm still learning! All of my roses except Madame Hardy are just on year two or three in my garden. MH is on year 6

If I had space, I'd have a huge hedge of Boscobel for sure! I'm a one of each garden due to size but I've considered finding a spot for a second.

dianela7bnorthal I appreciate your answering my questions very much. Agree on putting cow manure/chicken manure in late winter since phosphorus mobility is a 1, it moves down very slowly, esp. in dense clay. One study showed that phosphorus moves down 1 inch. per year in heavy clay. Also appreciate your honesty (in previous posts) as to which roses died or which one is prone to blackspots.

I'm testing 7-gallon Air-pots (like what Hoang Ton uses for his fabulous grafted-Austins). After 24 hours of heavy rain (2 inch. of rain), roses in Air-pots are 100% healthy, but roses in my Styrofoam pots have holes in the leaves from too much rain. Husband is so impressed with the health of roses in Air-pots that he ordered 6 more for me ($64 for six 7-gallon each GROW-GREEN Air-pots on Amazon.) It's only $10 more for the 6 bases with wheels. Safety gloves are also included.

librarian_gardner_8b_pnw I love both your honesty and Dianela's. I post for truth & share my mistakes so others don't make the same mistakes. My B.S. is in Computer Science, with working experience as a C-programmer, so I'm geared toward accurate details. I'm 60, and as I get older I become more like my husband (he's a computer-geek & into just facts & technical info. and hates bullshitting).
