Looks like Claude, although there seems to be an overall yellow-ish tone to the blooms in your current pics, probably b/c they were taken in full sun. I don't know how big Claude will get in your area, but on the Calif coast, I keep my two Claudes in 15 gallon pots, and they do great!

Ok, now that you've shown the whole bush and I can see all those scalloped petals.... I don't believe it is CLAUDE MONET! It looks more like ROSE DES CISTERCIENS.

I second beth,

Rose des Cisterciens also known as Paul Cezanne in the U.S.

Ha Ha! Thank you. I think I am converted to Rose des C. now. This is the first season it has had a big flush, and most of the flowers are very scalloped. The yellow in the pictures is accurate, although they do fade quickly. Also, I noticed that Monet on HMF has high pointy centers, and these open with a cup shape. They are definitely NOT a hybrid tea with their short stems, as Monet is supposed to be a HT. Ok, Thanks again for the good detective work!

wowwww! so indeed it turned out to be my Rose des Cisterciens that I was so waiting for! now you MUST TELL ME! Is this rose very fragrant???? Do I get my first pink striped FRENCH fragrant rose????? oooooo, how is the scent???

Serena, The scent is very nice, but not overpowering. It is sweet but gentle. I think you will like it.

We grow all the striped Delbards and RDC is the only one with those real pronounced scalloped edges. The colors vary with the season and the temperatures - part of its charm.

For you RDC growers, how big does she get? Adjusting for zone 5, if possible. It's growing in a pot, but I am concerned it might get too big. RDS is a shrub according to HMF.
