Hello, can anyone identify these roses? I got them from a friend’s garden and she had no idea which variety they are.   The white rose makes fairly long shoots and leans on a tree (I’m not sure it’s a climber though). Flowers abundantly but doesn’t get very abundant second flush (here at least). Fairly large flowers, strong scent. ‘Iceberg’ perhaps? This red roos has very large flowers and blooms continually, has also some scentThis somewhat yellowish-orange rose reblooms and has large flowers, seems to me like a bushy variety. Any ideas? This one has small roses from yellowish through orange and eventually white. Reblooms and could be a climber or a bush.

    Iceeberg has no scent, what about Margaret Merrill

    Hi B3 and thanks for your reply! I looked up ‘Margaret Merrill’ but I’m not sure that’s the one. My rose doesn’t have the pink hues and the shoots are longer than 80cm (max for Margaret Merrill). Maybe I’d better say my rose is a climber... ;)

    Sorry @B3, but my Iceberg does have scent. Not the strongest but it is there  :).

    Would you say my rose is ‘Iceberg’ @AnniD?

    @RhodoN , that was my first thought, yes. It looks very like mine.

    @B3 tell me about it !

    I can smell leaking gas in a gale force wind, but some flowers have little scent. Ive had the gas people digging up the road on more than one occasion. They need to use high tech sniffers. I don't. At least I'm unlikely to get blown to bits😀 @AnniD

    The peach one looks like a David Austin one, possibly one of these
