Name That Rose!Roses

Need help with rose ID

7 months ago

last modified: 7 months ago

I purchased this rose as Mel's Heritage last year in spring. I planted it in April. It grew very well all summer but didn't bloom at all. I now have blooms for the first time, and the rose is definitely not MH. It is a climbing rose with very small bright pink flowers. It currently has some black spot and mildew issues, but we have had a very wet spring. I actually love the loud pink flowers and would appreciate any help with identification. I have looked at the website from where I purchased it and have been unable to make an positive ID. TIA.

starmade - I haven't noticed any smell.

Markay - Yes, mine came from Rose Petals. Since I like it, I thought I wouldn't ask for a refund.

This has an 'Excelsa' look about it. Does the nursery you bought off, sell this rose too?

You can only upload one photo per post from your hard drive, Molly. For multiples, you need to use a Photobucket, Flickr or some other on line photo hosting account. From most of those, you can upload many photos per post. I use Flickr because it is easier for this, my blog and the Rose Hybridizers Association forum. But, many others use other photo sites with success. Kim

To me, it resembles Command Performance because of the petal quilling. Tropicana is a similar color, but it doesn't quill. Does this bush throw trusses, that is a spray-like structure where each of the stems has probably 1 bloom but the stem is long enough to be usable as a single bloom per stem rose? I am talking true grandiflora style here. Command Performance is a HT, but it does do the grandiflora style thing? What about plant growth habit? Tropicana is more vase-shaped like a V. Command Performance is more straight up. Is the growth habit something else?

#1 is a variation on R. rugosa. It doesn't look to be pure species, but a hybrid between rugosa and another species, like perhaps nutkana. #2 is indeed 'Mayor of Casterbridge'. I used to grow it and its quite recognizable.

bought this rose over six years ago when still at my old condo. She grew well in pot. Bought a house six years ago. Planted in ground. No tag. Now that I have over 85 roses, it bothers me that I don’t have her name tag. Looks to be Neil Diamond or possibly Rock n Roll. But no detectable scent and those two are listed as very fragrant? What do you think? Photo in comments

Thank you for your response. I don't see Excelsa on the nursery's website.

It is sometimes sold as 'Red Dorothy Perkins', but if not that, I do think it's a rambler of this type, very closely related.

Thank you both. It does look like it from the pictures. And I thought it must be once-blooming since it failed to bloom at all last summer.

Maree85, this looks exactly like what I got when I ordered Mel’s Heritage a couple years back. Curious if your’s also came fro Rose Petals Nursery. They had excellent customer service and offered ne a refund when I contacted them.

Whether you want a refund or not, you should let them know that they are selling the wrong variety.
