...it does a bit although to me it looks like a cross between Roald Dahl and Carolyn Knight..
..I like Elizabeth because of the clusters of smaller blooms, which remind me of a hybrid musk or noisette rose... very much my type.. I expect it can be trained as a short climber..
Whoops apologies to Mr Vine Eye! I missed your post, it definitely looks like Bathsheba! Emily Bronte is a dead ringer for Elizabeth. I feel a bit cheated, I was looking forward to something different...not repackaged.
I would say more like Dame Judi Dench but with more yellow in it. I like the form and colour gradient of Bathsheba more but it's hard to judge from the photos.
I just wish there were a few more photos of the new roses, so we could better appreciate the shape of the rose as a whole.
I’ve got myself Elizabeth. Just like Marlorena said, I expect it to be similar in its habit to a hybrid musk or noisette with clusters of smaller blooms. But it’s going to be in quite an awkward place in my garden with quite a bit of shade. Will see how it does there…
I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone’s photos!:)
I have crown princess which is a gorgeous climber, I thought sunshine different enough from it to try it and a different habit. Going in a pot for now I think
Thanks for the photos Jessica! Maybe I'm just being too cynical. I have none of the "originals" and my daughter has hinted at buying me both new ones so I might just give in.

Like @Oliya, I also stocked up on orangey-apricoty types this winter so I will enjoy your new roses instead😊

Here’s Bathsheba opening. I really like the colour mix.
