What kind of rose is this please?

last year

I have no idea what kind of rose bush this is... Can someone please tell me if this a floribunda, tea rose or? I would like to know how and when to prune it? I've added a couple of pics so you can see it. It seems to be growing upright. The blooms are a lovely pink and apricot color. Thanks so much!

Prune it now. As a general rule, you can safely prune it back by about 1/3. You could easily take hedge shears and just take a third off the top and you'd be fine. There's no need to make it more complicated than that (for this type of rose).

It doesn’t really matter much if your rose is a floribunda or a hybrid tea. What matter is whether your rose reblooms or not. If the rose is a once bloomer then you prune after it blooms because if you prune now you will lose this years blooms. If your rose is a rebloomer which is very likely to be then anytime in early spring is a good time to prune. Prune it to your desired height

And the fact you know bloom color suggests you already know if it is a once bloomer.

I came across your questions while examining my stats on my blog site. I appreciate whoever it was who visited being curious enough to explore my little realm of pain. The 6th picture down is definitely not the same as the first picture, although the species could - I suppose - be the same. But these were in different locations, so I would suggest different species. It is also one of the reasons I am not 'all that' at Rose names. I respect how many varieties there are far too much. I have enough on my plate at the best of times,....roses I love to look at, but that's as far as it goes. ;-) Typically, at that Rose Garden, they clump a few varieties of each together, making what ends up being a more effective and, probably healthier showing in general. I know they sure look good, lol. Here is a link that might be useful: Steve Snedeker's Landscaping and Gardening Blog

It looks like a rambler. Does it bloom only once in June-July? If you remove a leaf and look at the plate at the base of the stem, is there fringe on the sides of it? Most ramblers root easily from cuttings, if you want one of your own.

Thank you so much. I don't know if it is a rebloomer or not, I know it had blooms all summer long and into the fall.

If you had blooms in summer and fall you’ve got a rebloomer

Personally, I'd prune off the top 2/3 of the bush. You have some nice new canes coming in from down below.

Thanks to each of you for your advice, I certainly appreciate your help and this afternoon was such a nice day, I pruned the top 1/3rd. I'm looking forward to seeing the blooms again soon.
