What rose is this?!?

11 years ago

First photo is what I'm looking for answers to.


I thought it was a type of climbing rose, but most climbing roses look more filled with greenery/bushy/come over top of fence and around the fence (see second photo for what I mean)??

But the first photo almost looks more like a row of rose bushes on the other side of the fence, merely poking through. I'm obviously new to this, but desperately want to know what type of rose is in the first picture with the salvia and catmint. Can anyone help?

    You're absolutely right, the first photo shows a row of floribundas poking through the fence. There are many good pink floris and shrubs that would give you this look. If you tell us where you live, someone from your area can give a useful suggestion.

    Might be Queen Elizabeth?

    Thanks! I appreciate your answers. I live in Georgia, zone 7b.

    For that look I would pick a pink rose that you enjoy No need to be a climber

    QE shrub can get very tall, so it will reach the top of the fence. I have the climbing variety, and while I love the flowers, it's a horrible bush to deal with. So last year I got the shrub form. I love the pink color and bloom form.

    I have this picture from off the web years ago, because I love it, too! I labelled it Mary Rose and May Night salvia, but I don't remember whether those were the real IDs or just my own notes. Oops. I've never grown Mary Rose, but I have always wanted her, so that's no help, either :)

    I've had Bonica and I agree it was used in hedges and on fences, but it has a smaller, lighter colored bloom than this rose. My daughter had a hedge of Simplicity roses, and I think that is what this rose might be. I checked HMF and Simplicity has the loose draping look that the rose in this picture has. It would work beautifully on a fence. My daughter's simplicity hedge was totally carefree and quite lovely. Diane

    Simplicity is very prone to BS in the South. It sounds like Selah is new to roses and she might not want to commit to a spray schedule. An Earth-Kind rose like Carefree Beauty might be better for her even if it isn't the exact rose pictured in the photo.
    {Hi again Selah. There is a fungus called blackspot BS for short) that causes rose foliage to spot and fall off. A whole rose bush will be bare of leaves by mid-summer if you don't spray every two weeks with a fungicide. Texas A&M Univ tested thousands of roses and identified a few that are extremely resistant to BS. They call them Earth-Kind. You can grow Earth-Kind roses in Atlanta without spraying fungicide and they will keep their leaves. Chamblee Rose Nursery sells Earth-Kind roses (Google their web site for photos and descriptions of the roses). Chamblee's ships potted one gallon plants. The cost of shipping seems high because they're sending potted plants. Sorry if this was too simplistic.}

    I second carefree beauty as a substitute for that rose growing on the fence. It is pepto bismol pink and healthy here in Texas. It does shut down blooming in July and August, but it's a thing of beauty when in bloom.

    Actually the first picture is one of my favourite pic that I had used as a desktop wallpaper in the past. Thanks for the blast in the past. I saw a similar picture where they used the climbing Eden rose instead. Both are beautiful.

    This is the link to the picture. It is on Houzz. It is Hertiage Rose and Midnight salvia along with spirea compacta Limelight. According to the designer, "Thank you for the comments: chartreuse is : Spirea compacta' Limelight', roses are: Rosa 'Ausblush', which also looks very nice with the compacta blooming as well. The salvia is "midnight". We are zone 6a-b."

    (I think the salvia is probably May Night not midnight.)

    That's not how Heritage looks here. We don't get bubblegum pink out of her in my garden, where she's really pale usually. And she's a warmer pink (but so pale that her tone doesn't matter much).

    To keep that medium pink here, she would not be who I'd go with, although I do have her with that same salvia myself so that's certainly pretty :D

    I agree, Meredith. I would have never guessed Heritage because of the dark color. Must be a photograph thing. Diane
