Rose identification help please

3 years ago

I received this rose that was ordered as Evelyn. This rose came from outside of the US though I don’t know exactly where from. It has very upright growth, blooms singly on each stem, and has pointed, ovoid buds. The blooms retain some cupped form but are nearly flat when mature. The petals are pointed and the fragrance is sweet, perfumy, myrrh…sometimes it smells like almost cookies or something similar? It’s tough for me to describe smells. It tends to blackspot, even in full sun. Blooms last about 2-4 days.

If anyone has any guesses, I would appreciate your thoughts! I have ruled out Grace, Evelyn, and Lady Gardener. I will include pictured here and in the comments. Thank you!

I'd say that's definitely an Austin, and my guess would be 'Gentle Hermione'..

It does appear to be an Austin style rose, but it's not 'Evelyn'. I think 'Bathsheba' is a possibility.

It looks a lot like my Bathsheba.

Thank you to everyone for chiming in.

I did consider Bathsheba also but this rose has sturdy, compact canes that bloom with a single rose at the end. It doesn’t grow like a climber. My Bathsheba is a vigorous grower with thinner canes and often more than one bloom at the tip.

Gentle Hermione is one I hadn’t considered. After looking at pictures, I won’t rule it out but the bloom form does appear different.

Thanks again!

I did come across one Austin by chance that looked more similar but it’s rare in the US. Does anyone have experience/pictures of Troilus? I happened across it being offered and when I looked at the pictures on HMF they appeared close.
