Ha, well the minute I posted this, I see Jackie commented on my other post that I should come over here with my question. Thank you, Jackie!

Thanks, praties!

I thought Mr Lincoln too. It blooms on the end of upright canes.

The slightly shiny petal reverse shown in the first picture doesn't look right for Mr. Lincoln. How about Alec's Red?

AR is consistently a bright, almost fluorescent, red. Mr Lincoln's color varies with the weather but is usually darker than shown in your pictures. Sometimes it is purplish.

Clever Michael! Bet that's it...

Much older, but a proven survivor in red clay is Red Radience. It goes back and was one of the great ones of its day. I've never seen a great one, but it was THE rose of its day and worked for many as a passalong.

I'm not sure that Mr Lincoln does that well own root in red clay.

Reds are notorious for saturating digital camera sensors if one does not take appropriate measures when photographing them, producing effects such as 'shine' and off-colours (pinkish or magenta). On top of that, judging colour subtleties from a random picture (assumingly not under a controlled colour managed process from exposure through processing and publishing to viewing in one's browser) is always an iffy proposition. Having said that I trust Micheal's experience. To me it looks like Mr. Lincoln but so would a number of other bright red HT's.

PS. I think the poster should let us know to what extent the pics look thruthful to the real thing (even then what one sees in one's browser maybe different from what another person sees in his).

Example of false colours produced by sensor saturation in the red channel

The full plant photos are a pretty good representation of the true pinkish red color. Sometimes the are a little darker, especially as they start to fade, but never a true, primary red.

Looking at the photos of Chrysler Imperial and Mr. Lincoln, I think my flowers more closely resemble Chrysler Imperial. Mr. Lincoln's look like they have a different form. Some of the photos on helpmefind show what I understand to be a quartered center on Mr. Lincoln and my flowers never have that. The majority of Alec's Red photos look too pink.
Leaning towards CI.

twinkletoad, Based on habit, and fully open blooms, I'd say this is Mr. Lincoln. Mine always show delightful gold stamens when fully open. Chrysler Imperial has very high centered blooms of perfect rose shape and the blooms tend to fold under at the edges. What ever your rose is, it is certainly lovely! Any rose with great fragrance and large red blooms is lovely to me.

Thanks so much to all of you for chiming in to help! I love this community of gardeners! :)

I'm going to be on the look out for Mr. Lincoln at the local nurseries and gardens since it's much easier to make comparisons in real life.
