Rose ID Please?

6 years ago

Hi everyone. I received a pretty rose on Mother's Day from my son. It is a WEEKS rose but it never came with a tag. Would this be a hybrid tea rose? I wish I knew what kind it is and the name of this lovely rose. I went on WEEKS website. There were a few that looked like mine but I'm not sure. Any help from my rose enthusiasts would be welcome and so appreciated. Here are a couple of pics of my rose.

Thanks rosecanadian,

Both are so much alike, it is really difficult to tell. I think both have scalloped edges. At least we know it's a floribunda rose. I wrote to WEEKS roses and sent them pics. I hope I hear back from them. Either way, they're both very pretty. I love the colors.

Looks like Easy Does It to me. Or maybe Livin Easy. Those are both floribundas.

Hi seil, thanks for your help as always. I think you're pretty darn close or bang on! In examining my rose, I think it looks more like Livin Easy. It has the same yellow center and yellow painted bottom. Livin Easy is suppose to have a 4" wide bloom, mine does too. The only difference is that Livin' Easy is suppose to have 40 petals, while mine have 25. Does it matter that mine is fairly new? Thanks for helping me.

Easy Does It would be my guess too. :) The petal edges are scalloped.

I think what you have is Easy Does It, not Livin' Easy.

I am a big lover of orange rose, so I have 9 Livin' Easy rose bushes, and 9 more of Livin' Easy rose trees; I used to have 6 Easy Does it rose bushes, but I got rid of them due to severe rust and downy mildew.

They actually do not look similar. There are 3 differences: Livin' Easy is through and through true orange, and does not fade to pink. In fact it can look very neon orange initially and fade to a pale orange, whereas Easy Does fades to pink when the pedals age. Overall the color of Easy Does it tends to be more variable. Also the scallop edges are far more prominent on Easy Does it. A third difference is Livin' Easy gets larger than Easy Does it in size when mature. My 9 Livin' Easy bushes are getting beyond 5 feet tall and 4 - 5 feet wide, but Easy Does It can stay around 4 feet in height.

They are both from Harkness. I can post some pictures.

Rosecanadian, thank you so much for taking the time to post your pics. Thank you for pointing out the differences. I see what you mean, two blooms on my rose faded to pink. The orange in the 'Livin' Easy' is much bolder and brighter than in mine. I would love to see more pics by all means. Thanks so much to both you and Seil for helping me id my pretty rose.

Oh I'm so sorry. Thanks for setting me straight rosecanadian.

ROSE LAI: Thank you so much for the lovely pics. I thought rosecanadian posted them. They are beautiful. Scroll down and you'll be able to read my post but I addressed it to rosecanadian in error.
