Hi, I am trying to find the identities of two roses in my garden, if anyone can help?I bought them several years ago as Reine Victoria (Heirloom Roses), and Blush Damask (High Country Roses) They arrived, grew, bloomed, and I thought nothing more of it at the time.
.
I had a rose die last year though, and not remembering the positioning, I waited until this year to identify its neighbors and maybe figure out which one I was missing. (Which I eventually did, I think it was Prairie Joy)
.
As I began to look up photos for reference though, I noticed that neither of my roses looked like what they were sold as? Reine Victoria looks larger and deeper than either, and Blush Damask looks lighter in color and has a different form? So now I wonder, which roses do I actually have?
.
What I do know about them:
.
The blooms are similar, in color and size but slightly different in form.
.The blooms are small to medium in size. Both have very tall and flexible canes. At least one is a once bloomer, they might both be but I can't quite remember what they did last year, as I didn't get outside much.
.
They both have a medium level scent to me, but I don't know if I can truly judge the scent, since many other roses in my garden that are much touted for their scent seem to be medium strong to me also.
.
(For example I have: Abraham Darby, Jude the Obscure, Bolero, Ebb Tide, Earth angel, America, White Licorice, Mrs. B.R. cant, Belle De Crecy, Bliss Parfuma, Scepter'd Isle, Bathsheba, Dee-lish, Sweet Mademoiselle, Blanc Double De Coubert, Scentimental, and Munstead Wood.) They smell mild to me close up, and the only one that ever seems to waft is my HUGE Guirlande de Amore in full bloom, under the best conditions. I don't know if it's my yard or my nose!
.
I'll post the photos in the comments, and I would be super grateful if anyone has any idea of what they might be!
