Does Anyone Recognize These Pink Roses

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

I have a pretty decent rose collection, but I inherited these two when we bought our house almost twenty years ago and have never been able to figure out who these anonymous beauties are. I was hoping perhaps someone here recognizes them because I am so curious.

The first is a small climber. Puts out a nice first flush, and a few scattered blooms the rest of the summer. The foliage is always super healthy. If I recall correctly, it does have a nice fragrance.

The second one is really sweet. It's only about two feet tall. Blooms just about non-stop until the snow comes. Seems to be super hardy here in Southern Ontario.

Thanks in advance!

Might your second rose be Elle ? Her colors are quite variable — there’s a good representation of her range at helpmefind page —but the salmon pink edges and yellow reverse looks right. She stayed shorter for me, nice sweet scent, released about 20 years ago to great fanfare, so was a hot new release at time.

IMHO, the first rose looks like it has modern foliage, does not look like an antique...

If you like dark pink roses, Perfume Delight is a great rose with similar color. Pretty Lady Rose is another dark pink rose with wonderful fragrance.

The first one could also be the climber America. The blooms look a lot like the ones on mine.

The second one could be Elle. It's hard to say. Mine does like to throw big sprays occasionally.

Thank you so much for the replies. It seems likely that my climber is America (Because it's an extremely thorny rose) and I do believe my little one is Elle!

You guys are all amazing.
