Please help ID this rose

10 years ago

Also posted this is "name that rose" but thought I would also try here...

These rose bushes are growing in the yard of a 80yo house just purchased by son. Having trouble id'ing. Seems to be on own root growth. Dame de Coeur maybe? Have no knowledge of the history of this rose. Mild fragrance. Growing in central Texas.

Have no idea if it is a repeat bloomer yet....

those are not white streaks but sunlight. however, the center is faded to pink

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Chisos: Here's the info. on Dame de Coeur rose. Since your rose has light fragrance & bushy .. it doesn't fit with Dame's strong scent, huge 6 inch. bloom, and slender hybrid tea. Plus Dame is VERY THORNY.

Your bush looks more like a double-red-knock-out .. popular landscape bush. The below is description of Dame de Coeur:

Bred by Louis Lens (Belgium, 1958).

Class:

Hybrid Tea.

Bloom:

Cherry-red. Strong fragrance. up to 35 petals. Average diameter 6". Very large, full (26-40 petals) bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season.

Habit:

Armed with thorns / prickles. Glossy, dark green foliage.
Height of 35" to 47" (90 to 120 cm).

Rose holds up to heat very well. Temps in the 90s and 100s and roses stay put! Vicious thorns!!!

Thank you Straw! I had Dame's at my home in San Antonio that I had purchased from ARE. They were not as thorny as this description implies. And, they were never 6" - probably due to the heat/sun.

The flower in question is approx 4" across with 24-26 petals.

This was my Dame in San Antonio.

I was basing my guess on the fact that it opens to reveal stamens, has light pink bases down deep on the petal, and is a cherry red. I kept mine pruned because they were by the pool.

Chisos: Absolutely gorgeous garden you have in San Antonio. Based on the low-petal count, 24, and little scent & smaller leaves ... it looks like a landscape bush but your bush has MORE petals than Double-Knock-out. The only light-fragrant, disease-resistant rose match that is Olympiad rose, 5" diameter, with 32 petals .. but would be less in high heat. see below:

A truly beautiful red rose...(and needless to say not available here), and such a lovely name, - translates to: Dame de Coure: Lady of Heart (ps. this was a 'google search')

they are all lovely...

It could it be a red China. Do the blooms shatter, all the petals fall, soon after picked? Does it have a scent but is not hybrid tea nor old Rose, but more fruity? If the answers to these questions is yes, then I would think perhaps China, maybe Louis Philippe.
