Name That Rose!Roses

Rose ID Confirmation

7 months ago

Hi,

Got this rose climbing up the front of our cottage which was here when we moved in and very established. It’s nearly on the roof so pretty tall. Blooms are a strong fruity scent. The blooms start with pink hues and turn white when fully open. They are quite frilly looking and are pointy in places around the outside giving them a kind of star shape to them. The mains stems are very thick (like small tree trunks) with almost no thorns. I think it’s Madamme Alfred C but just wanted confirmation. Thanks!

Yes you have a MAC! Super wonderful. Where are you located? Do you have a picture of the entire plant? I am trying to train one to my 2 story balcony and not sure I will be able to since I am in a zone 7 where it may get too cold for her to get massive like I need.

Great I was hoping it was especially as share the same name 😄

I live in England (London). I gave it a trim in the spring from upstairs with long clippers as it was on the roof! It’s very bushy near the top due to lack of pruning and training that high up. I need to get up there with a ladder and take thw depth off it and train the thicker stems at the top. It’s nice having a fragrant rose that high as you can pull them towards you from the bedroom windows to smell 😂

here is a picture of the full plant:

1. Verbena Rigida 2. Texas Dandelion (Pyrrhopappus multicaulis) 3. Yellow Flax (Linum rigidum var. Berlandieri) 4. Looks like Oxalis drummondii, but not 100% positive about that. http://www.sbs.utexas.edu/bio406d/images/pics/oxl/oxalis_drummondii.htm 5. Maybe Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris) http://wildflower.utexas.edu/plants/result.php?id_plant=PRVU

Hmm, is that for sure from a Kordana rose or could it be a Poulsen rose? Those are also sold as grocery store pot roses and that one looks a lot like Emerald Hit from Poulsen or sometimes sold as Victory Roses... The Magnolia Kordana has more of a pink center with the green outer leaves, from what I can tell the Belami Kordana has more of an apricot center with the green outer leaves. The Emerald Hit is more green outer leaves and white/pale cream center. How old is this rose? Hopefully we can figure these ones out!

I think I have the same! It was only labeled Echeveria... and I feel your pain with all of the rain we've had (and all that's still on our way!) I was thinking maybe Blue Rose? And it sort of looks like we have the same planter! HA!

Gorgeous Alfie, you lucked out. I wish I would have inherited such a beauty and fully grown to boot. Sorry I remembered you were in England after I posted. Roses seem to do exceptionally well on your side of the world, I love it.

Wow, I can't even imagine roses just outside my upstairs bedroom window. How incredibly lucky you are to garden in such a place! Enjoy your MAC.

Yeh previous owners were keen gardners who lived here for 20 years so very lucky indeed. It’s what inspired me to get into gardening actually as I didn’t want to neglect all these nice established plants. Thanks for your help and kind comments. Good luck with your MAC.
