please ID coral pink rose

19 years ago

This is a rose left by the previous owner. The house is pretty new, and I think the roses were probably planted about 2004-05. They were planted way too close together, a variety of types; the ones with tags are all J&P roses. I'm guessing these people were not rose gardeners and picked up all the plants at Lowes or Home Depot at once.

This one has lovely coral pink blossoms, about 3" across. The leaves are about 1" long, medium to dark green, with new growth burgundy. The leaves retain some burgundy shading on the underside. Stems are green (though it's a very small bush at this point). Flowers are borne singly. The thorns are large and yellow, fairly straight. The stipules are light green with red lines and small. The sepals are pointed. The bush does not form hips to speak of. Any thoughts?

I believe that your rose is a Jackson Perkins rose called Mother's Rose. I grow it and your photo and description matches it almost perfectly.

Cherrie,

Thanks! The photos look more of a bluish pink than mine, but I know that can vary. Is the new growth on yours a really deep red, stems and all? J&P sounds like a good possibility...

Valerie,

My Mother's Rose is much more coral with cherry pink edges than the ones on HMF. The color depends on the temperature. There is no bluish tones on mine either. Colors are deeper in the spring and fall. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of my own to share.

Here are some photos of new growth that I just took today. This is not brand new and has been growing a while so it is starting to green up but the stems, thorns and leaves all start out a deep burgundy color.

There is not much new growth on my roses right now because my weather is starting to cool down here. We even had a light frost a couple of nights ago. It won't be long before I have to put my gardens to bed for the winter.

I hope this helps. Cherrie
