    Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to which rose this is? It was a gift years ago, a tough cookie, cruelly neglected and languishing in a far too small 30cm pot and shoved in corners during house moves. This year it suddenly taken off and actually looking rather pretty. Think I need to be kinder to it and repot it. Fairly compact at about 50cm high, small sprays of sugar pink turning to white blooms, maybe a floribunda???

    Hi Marlorena, it was a gift from friends in Andalucia, I am pretty sure they bought it locally. I only just noticed today that it is the only one of my roses without blackspot yet, the leaves seem fairly tough, but that doesn’t stop the munching critters making holes in them!

    Hi @Marlorena, I can’t remember what this rose is. Are you able to identify it for me please. I think it’s either Golden Celebration or Graham Thomas and would appreciate your help, TIA.

    Thank you @Marlorena!
    @Nollie could it be English miss? That's a floribunda of similar colours...

    @Ffoxglove, many thanks for the suggestion, I have had a look at that and is looks very similar, but mine does not have the soft coral tones described and I think its whiter, but roses do behave differently here. It it also described as having a strong sweet fragrance. I get no scent, but that is often the case with me and roses.

    Summer Sweetheart is lovely!
