Need help ID-ing this red Austin.

10 years ago

It was tagged as red Eden but I have 4 other red edens & know for sure this isn't it. The leaves are a medium green somewhat matte. The growth so far is spindly tall & not very bushy- I still have it in a pot. It doesn't have good disease resistance but many roses that should don't in my climate anyways. The pics of the blooms where taken when the rose was shaded so the color is actually off. It's usually much darker, more Crimson and fades to a purple as the bloom ages. I will try to post better pics when it blooms again. The pics are down below in comments I can't figure out why I can't post pics unless I comment a little Frustrating. Any ideas???

Could it be Rouge Royale?

Rachel, if you're sure this is an Austin, I think it might be Falstaff which is "spindly" and can be grown as a climber. Cori Ann has some great pics. I'll post one of mine if I can find it. It could also be Tess, but the the colour is a bit different and mine doesn't fade to purple as does my Falstaff.

Have you ruled out 'The Prince'?

not 100% sure - I can't remember if I I bought it from David austins or palatine roses ?? I thought it was from David Austin bc I had it in their signature green pots. Very sadly, I threw it out bc it stayed riddled w/fungus, always had no leaves & was a very weak grower- I'll b purchasing more David Austin roses this fall- going to buy mostly his red varieties bc they're so gorgeous & im lacking his red roses :) thanks guys!
