    Just Joey?

    Could be La Canadienne. I've seen it trained as a Climber.

    Might be Autumn Sunset

    Good gues with Autumn Sunset, but looking at the leaves Id sayno. AS has very distintive leaves and those pictured dont resemble them at all..odG It could be a similar looking rose called Golden Olymp.

    In the fifth photo. I'm seeing a curved "neck" to the flower which makes me think of a Tea . My first thought on seeing the pictures was "Crepuscule", a Tea-Noisette.

    It's definitely of the Tea/Noisette type, given its foliage, bloom presentation style (long stems, tending towards pendant) and loose form. The one detail that had me hesitating was the strong reddish reverse shown in the vase photo; I don't recall 'Crépuscule' displaying a reddish reverse like that. But I can also see that it's evident only in the half-open bud stage but gone by the time its fully open. This could be a variable trait that appears only in certain climate conditions.

    So I will cautiously go with 'Crépuscule' as its potential identity. It had fleetingly occurred to me that it might be 'Autumn Sunset' but the foliage style is so clearly Tea/Noisette and the growth habit of this rose is nowhere near as coarse as the 'Westerland' sport.

    My first thought was Crepuscule as well, but I've never yet had the pleasure of that rose in my garden. Paul, your knowledge and expertise is so appreciated - along with everyone else's great ideas and comments. The more I learn from all of you, the more I am intrigued and 'hooked'. Crepuscule IS on my list of lovely roses to get... and seeing your pictures... I'm like WOW. Is that one rose on that arbor? Or is that two of the same (one on either side of the arbor)?

    Im with you @Kimberly Wendt (Florida Z. 10b)! Frantically trying to see if I can grow this rose in my zone. What a beauty!

    Crepuscule is more heavily petaled. How about the climbing form of Lady Hillingdon?

    My very first thought when i saw the first picture was Royal Sunset. I grew it for several years and loved it. it has the fruity fragrance. I have to admit I’m not that good on color nuances but that was spot on with my memory. HMF has a photo from Calif. Sue that shows that curved neck. I still have Crepuscule and to my (untrained) eye it isnt that.

    @maryc_gwSoCA/USDA10 I think you may be right - 'Royal Sunset' looks like a better candidate than 'Crepuscule'.

  • 3 years ago

    Crepuscule has smaller flowers.

    "Royal Sunset" is new to me,and does indeed look like a good candidate. However, in order to pick nits, I must point out that things like colour,petal count, and even flower size seem to me to be VERY variable in roses,especially Teas and their ilk. Walter Branchi wrote that at least once during the season, every Tea Rose assumes the colours of all the others..."almeno una volta, durante la stagione,ogni Rosa Tè assume il colore di tutte le altre".
