Rose identification help needed

6 years ago

I’m hoping you guys can help ID this rose. It’s my sister’s and she has no idea what it is. It’s very fragrant and deeply cupped. She’s in rough shape right now because she’s been a bit neglected due to my sister’s health this year (she had COVID and has lingering health issues due to it). I‘d like to take a cutting from it next year to try to propagate this one for myself. It is extremely hardy with no winter protection in our zone 5 which is a big plus for me. According to her there is a bit of die back each year but most of the cane is still living in the spring. It’s on the pinker side of red and, as you can see, it has some well developed hips there too. If you have any ideas of what it could be, I’d like to hear some suggestions! I’ll have to upload pictures in a few posts because Houzz won’t let me add more than one photo per post. Thank you!

Oh, I'm sorry that your sister contracted COVID and that she has lingering effects. Horrible virus.

I don't know about the rose. Sorry.

Hello! I'm not sure, but I think it could possibly be 'Oklahoma' or 'Crimson Glory.' I hope your sister feels better soon.

Have a nice evening,

Sorry about your sister. Hope she feels better soon It could be Oklahoma. It does have the kind of squared off petals that OK gets but that is usually a very dark red, not pink at all.

Seil - I’d be very surprised if it turned out to be Oklahoma. These blooms are a little smaller and, I agree with you, much pinker than I’ve seen on mine. The form before it opens is much more globular than Oklahoma too. On top of that, it’s survived 5b winters with no protection at all.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

My guess is Chrysler Imperial, but agree with others it could be Oklahoma or Crimson Glory as well...those old reds have a similar look and great scent. Hope your sister gets better soon.
