Hi Sarah,

It is actually quite difficult to ID a rose just from a photo of the bloom. My suggestion would be to ask your friend what varieties these are -- if they came from their garden it is likely that they know. That would be the most reliable way to determine ID. If your friend does not know then things like the bush habit, how often it blooms, what the thorns look like and how thorny it is, the leaves of the plant, the buds, and the backs of the blooms where they attach to the stem are all things that can help with an identification. Given the wide commercial availability of David Austin roses, my guess is that at least one of these is a David Austin rose. The last one might be Bolero (Meilland) but with slightly fewer petals than normal. This can happen if the weather is hot or if the rose is having a rough week for some reason.

Thank you so much, really appreciate all the info. My friend received them from a friend of hers but i will certainly try to find out. I’ll look for ine you mention. Much appreciated

warm regards

Sarah

Last one looks a lot like the generous gardener …. mine smells amazing. are they all Austins? the first reminds me of Olivia

Thank you all so much for the detailed information. I’m trying to get in touch with my friends friend to help identify. I’ve look at all your suggestions and I agree, could easily be those ☺️ 🌹

I hope that you will report back when you find out! Beautiful flowers. I'm sure many of us would like to grow them. Smiley face
