I do not grow this rose, but it grows in the botanical garden near my office and it is a beauty. I think the roses last an average amount of time. It transitions in color from peach to pale yellow. It is in the background of this picture I took last week because I was surprised to see lilies still blooming! you can see some roses at different stages. I’m sure I have better pics buried in my camera roll.

What other naming does this plant have? Is it an actual rose (Rosa) or something else?

@Embothrium I'm assuming they mean the Buck rose "Winter Sunset".

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, nor am I sure very many people on this forum grow or have grown it, but I hope someone answers for you. It's available on sale at High Country Roses right now, relatively inexpensive so you could always just take a chance and try it.

Fragrance is so subjective. To me, SdlM is not really that fragrant, and it's more of a sweet/powdery scent than a damask/old rose fragrance. Most of the Portlands have that damask scent, as do many Hybrid Perpetuals and some of the Austins. In my garden, Eugene de Beuharnais has it the strongest - it will draw you to it from ten feet away. The Prince has that smell, too. So does Marbree, a mottled-blossomed Portland that Jeri recommended, that's clean as a whistle and reblooms reliably. (In its second season in my garden, it's a small, tidy plant.) Of course, performance is all about location. I'm in hot, dry Sacramento, so my experiences won't be anything like yours. Here, SdlM is temperamental. Powdery mildew, blossoms tend to ball (although they opened much better once the plant matured), and some browning edges. When it is good, it's wonderful. I came very close to digging it out a few years ago. Anita

Lynn, Cynthia and Luxrosa, I so appreciate your encouraging and also practically informative posts. The support I've received has been so heartwarming, and with all your encouragement, how could I possibly give up? Lynn, I've been really happy with how well my crape myrtles have handled the heat. They look good all the time and the bright green leaves make the garden at least look cooler. Luxrosa, I have the feeling that even though you may not be getting much rain the fogs carry so much moisture that your environment is actually quite different from mine. If I watered my roses in the summer only twice a week many would not survive. I know that's difficult to believe but the strength of the sun here on the side of a hill with so much open area on which nothing is planted is tremendous. My skin begins to hurt and burn in five minutes. Sometimes I'm amazed that the roses can survive at all. Cynthia, I have no plans to ever leave here, especially since I now believe that, for at least the foreseeable future, I'll have at least some roses. Roses are not all created equal, and I'm finding that some are amazingly resilient while others are weak sisters. It's going to be my job to research which are best and to find the most advantageous places to place them. I'm going to move Souvenir du President Carnot to a shadier position tomorrow. Last year it bloomed beautifully and did well in the heat and this year it's had two blooms and is mildewed, in spite of lots of water and mulch. If that doesn't help it will be gone. It's all going to be a learning process, and I'm happy that I won't have to do it alone. Ingrid

My 4 year old son gives roses to his teacher at Valentines day. I go to Costco and pick up a bunch of roses. I then put each rose in a plastic tube with water. I get clear plastic wrap (sold in wrapping paper section at Target, etc.) and cut a large square. I lay a colored tissue paper to match on top of the plastic. (Make sure your roses are not wet or the color of the tissue paper will run.) Lay the rose in the center. Fold one side over, the bottom up and the final side over and around. Tie with ribbon. Attach a card. Hope this makes sense. Michaels Craft Store sells the little plastic tubes you can fill with water. But are a touch expensive without the 40% off coupon. I like the idea about approaching a florist...tell them you are a school teacher and they will likely sell them to you for cheap. All these supplies can be bought for cheap but in bulk at a florist supply store. But to get the wholesale price you would need a resale license. Maybe a freind has one.

@Adam Harbeck I adore your Sophies, and they are stunning in their dragon pots!! I love the way petals of roses with a lot of China heritage darken as they age and produce color gradients. I’ll bet Jeri admires your Sophies, too. Sophie looks like exactly the kind of gorgeous red-pink China-type rose Jeri frequently posts pics of. I wonder if Sophie would resist blackspot in my area. My region is a far cry from Australia. I wish I could smell her. Sophie’s scent must be coming from her Bourbon ancestry. Bourbons got the fragrance for sure! Carol

I have found that the Buck Winter Sunset lasts pretty well on the bush for a week or so with some color changes. I rarely cut roses so I can't tell if they fade in the vase quickly. It has a pretty open form so I don't think it would close up once it blooms

How long does a bloom usually last for a rosebush(what is considered short lived and what is considered long?
Nippstress Nebraska z5

I don't pay a ton of attention but I think the blooms can stay on the bush about a week. They are a bit mutable in color with some pink edges creeping in as they age.

it isnt worth answering.. if you arent going to tell us where you are ... big city name..

the more mild and temperate your location.;. the longer blooms last in the garden ...

roses are ephemeral ... and there is nothing you can do about it:

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffcm&q=ephemeral&ia=definition

if its 100 degrees.. they might last a day or two ... if its october.. and its 40s at night.. and 50 during the day.. they might last 2 weeks or more ... since those temps are no worse than a florist fridge ...

the trick.. is to have about 50 roses.. so there is always at least one in bloom at all times.. all summer long.. from late spring..to mid to late fall ..

trying to buy one long blooming rose would be a nightmare of logistics..
