Final of the 3 Unknown Roses

16 years ago

This is the last one (for now). By the way, the reason I am doing all three in separate posts is because I can't put more than one link in a post.

This rose is 4 feet high and 3 feet wide. It's flowers are red to dark, velvety red. The backside of the petals, however, are pinkish. Some of the petals also have darker areas (see the link for pictures of this), but I'm not sure if this is a characteristic of the rose or a disease. The blooms are double and have about 35 petals. It has a strong, sweet, floral scent. It is currently flowering (so I have good pictures of this one's blooms), and I think, if I remember correctly from last year, it is remontant.

If you're interested, I have two other posts in the Name That Rose forum entitled "3 Unknown Roses, 1 Dr. Huey Perhaps?" and "2nd of 3 Unknown Roses". I also have a post in the Name That Plant forum entitled "Unkown pink-flowering perennial."

Here is a link that might be useful: I have good pictures of this rose on Flickr, click this link to see them.

FranÃ§ois Rabelais?

Roselvr,

Thanks for the reply! I checked up on your suggestion, but I don't think my rose is a FranÃ§ois Rabelais. The blooms I saw in the pictures I found were too full to be my rose. Also, the max. height listed on the link in your reply is 35", which is too short, and the petal count was too much.

Thank you again, though.

Thanks for the suggestion, shewhoplants. I don't think my rose is 'Red Eden.' From what I've found on the Internet, 'Red Eden' is a climber growing to 10 feet tall, and my rose grows to only about 4 feet tall. Also, the pictures I've seen of 'Red Eden' have blooms that are too full to be my rose.

Thanks again!

I've added a collage of leaf pictures at the below link. This is five different pictures of leaves and stipules put into one file. To see my notes, run your mouse over each individual picture. To see a bigger image, click "All Sizes" just below the title ("Red Rose Leaves").
