Mystery rose - please help

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

Hello I'm new here, hoping to capture some wisdom and ideas here as to which breed this could be. Recently relocated and took some cuttings that unfortunately did not survive, looking for replacement... The blooms are orange/apricot colour that fade into cream/pink, scent is VERY sweet. The original plant was under a year old, rooted from a bouquet. Florist said could've been David Austin. Any inputs would be very much appreciated!!

    I'm sorry I don't know what your rose is, but congratulations on posting the pic. Other users have been unable to post pictures here for two days.

    Did you manage to post your pic by using the Houzz app or some other way?

    Sorry Sorry don’t know what it is but it does not look like any Austin I have ever seen. Bloom shape is more like a hybrid tea of some sort. Beatiful rose, hope someone knows

    @dianela7bnortal - thanks for the tip! I dug a bit around Google and thought it could be pink prosperity or apricot drift? But then the petal tips are pointy unlike them...


    @seasiderooftop - thanks, yes I posted using the app.


    Here's another flower in full bloom, totally different colours.. I'm baffled

    How big are your blooms. Drifts have very small blooms compared to other larger varieties. You are correct tho it looks extra pointy. The variation in color is something commonly seen for many reasons In roses. I personally love the variation. You mentioned you are looking for a replacement? If the rose is a florist rose it is very likely it is not widely cultivated in gardens ( florist roses are many times bad garden plants, they are grown with special care) of course this is not always the case. I wish I knew what your rose is. If you are willing to look for another rose with LOTS of color variation and a sweet scent please check into Augusta Luise rose.

    If you scroll through this old thread you can see the huge variation in peach and pink. I started the thread because due to some unknown reason mine has too much orange and I didn’t like that, but she is normally a softer peach to pink with giant ruffled blooms and have a very scent. This is not an easily acquired rose but a small number of them can be usually bought at Palatine roses

    I also grow crazy love by Kordes and it has the orange to peach to pink range. It is a super easy to grow rose but it is new and I haven’t noticed a strong scent.

    crazy love x3

    Oh how wonderful! All the subtleties captured in the close-up!

    I agree with Dianela that Apricot Drift has very small blooms. Your rose is not Augusta Luise. Diane

    Diane, I am so impressed every time I see your photos of AL. Some day, I really really want that one! I tried this spring in the mad scramble of Palatine orders, but it slipped through my fingers.
