Confirmation on 3 old roses names

16 years ago

I'd like to ask the confirmation on this 3 antique rose:

1st:{{gwi:1216851}}

It was named as Mutabilis but starts at light pink instead of yellow peach color. Can it be another variety? or its just an eye of the beholder chromatic question?

2nd: {{gwi:1216853}}

It's a compact flowering all at the same time shrub rose. Its growing on acidic soils but on the previous year(?) green-almost-turning-to-brown wood has some very scarce mini pricks. Does it still qualifies as an 'Inermis' clone?

3rd:

{{gwi:1216855}}

It's against a wall so it has grown probably more than if isolated and reached 2m high. Not compact.

This is the one I have more doubts about identity.

Thanks.

Your Mutabilis looks like mine. I know weather and environmental conditions play a large part in color variations of roses.

The Antique Rose Emporium sells a rose they call Bermuda's Kathleen that is very similar to Mutabilis but starts out pink. They speculate that it is a seedling of Mutabilis.

Thanks Victoria I suppose by photos that it is mutabillis that gets too much sun so the redness masquerades the paler yellowish incial tone

Bermudas Kathleen has more petals and gets dark pink tone that does not seen the right one also a very nice rose but I am really on the five petals type

Just planted my first Rosa multiflora Inermis in the more acidic part of my garden to see how well it does here

Thanks again!

Somehow my Complicata looks different. Can't pinpoint what is wrong, but.... Would be nice to see leaves on this one.

Sorry Olga, I didn't got more photos since I was just visiting the garden and just got the flowers on camera. Either way it's nice to know that it's probably not well named. Thx.
