ID of 2 stripeys needed

11 years ago

I'd appreciate help identifying these two striped roses.

This one is a scented, deep, velvety red & white rose on single stems, not pink and white with clusters like Scentimental. Sold to me as a "Carnival" but doesn't match any rose of that name on HMF. It is extremely thorny & the flowers nod or wilt very quickly in the heat of my garden, when the other roses are fine.

This one is also scented and currently has only one bloom on a single cane. To my eye it looks orange/coral and cream white. It was the last one in the nursery, no tags.

The first one looks like Rock n Roll.

Thank you so much. I've taken a look at the pics on HMF of Rock & Roll (different to Rock n Roll with an N, which isn't striped), and that definitely looks like my roses. The colour and especially the unusual "egg shaped" buds on the member photos are exactly like the ones I have. I also noticed the weak necks on some pictures.

If the first one is very fragrant it probably is Scentimental.

The second one could be Oranges and Lemons or maybe Chihuly.

Hi Seil, thank you for the suggestions, which have directed me to more pictures to compare to my roses.

The red one is much darker than Scentimental. I think it's definitely Rock & Roll. Of the two orange ones I think mine may be closest to Oranges and Lemons. I checked out Chihuly on HMF & noted that its flowers go through a lot of amazing colour changes, including losing the stripes. My rose is still on the bush and has remained the same colour & kept the stripes.
