Fragrant Burgundy Rose ID Please

17 years ago

This forum figured out that I had a Peace rose in my yard. Now I need help with the other rose we have, that came with the house.

The rose is a nice Burgundy color. It doesn't change much from opening, to dying. The bush is about 5' tall right now, but some canes have gotten taller, and I've cut them back. The flowers are a nice size... not huge, but def not small. The scent just says, "ROSE!" to me.

It's a repeat bloomer, and blooms all summer. I wouldn't say it's CONSTANT, but close.

Here are some photos. I didn't get a picture of the set of roses on it last week, so this is the first new flower this week. It's not all the way open yet... and must have just started opening today.

Please let me know if I need to add any information.

Thanks in advance for the help!

It could be the very fragrant Mister Lincoln, but I'm not sure. I'll put a link to photos on HelpMeFind for you to compare:

I've actually seen Mister Lincoln lately, at nurseries, and I just don't think this one is the same rose. Right now, I can't really remember why I didn't think it was the same when I saw it (because I look at all red/dark red roses to see if they might be this one! LOL).

But, could it just be because all the ones I've seen are (I'm guessing) fairly young plants, and mine is more mature?

Not Mr Lincoln. The petals are different. Your rose is more like a David Austin when open.

OP's open bloom

Any ideas on which one, roselvr?

P.S. I didn't know if I should post the open bloom pic here, or not, so I posted a new thread with it. I hope that was ok.

Looks like it could be Oklahoma. Oklahoma doesn't fade like Mr. Lincoln does.

Tisha had started a new thread about this rose with another photo.

I love Oklahoma, but even though the color looks similar, there are other aspects that make me think she has a different variety.

Oklahoma usually has more petals that reflex back a bit and the sepals have a few fringes, while those on her rose appear smooth. Even so, you could be right.

On the new thread I was guessing it could be Crimson Glory.

I'd say it's CRIMSON GLORY.

I agree that it does look a lot like Crimson Glory.

I e-mailed my photostream to the Oklahoma Rose Society, and Gail Beasley replied, saying that she does believe it is the rose Oklahoma.

Now I'm confused. LOL I had convinced myself that it wasn't Oklahoma, but now I don't know what to think.
