Could everyone please help me identify this rose?Â
A young family in the village has given up five potted roses. These roses had been neglected for years and appeared quite sickly. After 4 months of intensive care I have managed to nurse them back to health but I am unsure what they are called.Â
This one is particularly striking. Coral, pink and a hint of warmth from a yellow undertone.Â
New leaves and older leaves are complete two different colours.Â
Very little scent.Â
Not quite thornless but just tiny harmless prickly thorns.Â
2yrs later, a very sickly, runty bare root finally put out it’s first decent truss It hated the sun and was constantly mildewed. It went in the bin but I salvaged it at the last minute and plonked it in a gap in my east wall border as a temporary filler. Ivor’s Rose:
Mrs. Oakley Fisher has lovely single blooms (typically much paler here) but a reputation as a somewhat lanky, poorly foliated rose better hidden behind other things. Contrary to expectations mine is forming a nicely foliated bushy shrub:
Dee-Lish reblooming and enjoying the temporary relief of some shade where it’s not instantly crisping:
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Has anyone got Rosa SUMMER WINE? I have just bought it but I have read conflicting care. Some websites say suitable for a north facing wall and others say full sun? What do you rose experts suggest please?Â
At last it rained during the weekend. I was away and couldn't deadhead or feed the roses.

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
What a lovely lot Eustace. I always admire Queen of Sweden particularly wherever I see it. what is its habit for you and how floriferous please? I'm glad you and many others have had rain, zilch here. I am excited for my soaker hose delivery later, how sad is that?
I don't know that one at all Copperdog, if nobody else can help have you had a look on Help Me Find website?
Ivor's Rose is incredibly pretty there, @Nollie. Fingers crossed for some rain here and for you, @Tack. The flipping cricket was rained off up at Headingley yesterday to my chagrin. @Eustace, your collages are incredible-Â how many roses do you have, or daren't you count them?
@Tack QoS has a very upright habit, unlike other DA roses, and is very floriferous. The second flush is now in full swing though the flowers are smaller. The blooms are cupped nice soft-pink, medium-sized, definitely not as big as Golden Celebration or Young Lycidas. I would say almost same size as Desdemona/Vanessa Bell etc. The fragrance is mild, I would say, to a smell-challenged me.
@WhereAreMySecateurs I daren't do any counting; then it will bring to stark contrast how much I have spent on bareroot roses, pots, compost, fertiliser etc. compared to the much more productive fruit garden. That said, I have around 20 DA roses.

Ivor’s Rose theoretically ticked all the right climate boxes and was meant to be a big, vigorous, constant blooming centerpiece of a new rose bed @WhereAreMySecateurs. Having rescued the runt from the bin, if it continues to pick up I would still like to find a proper (shadier) place for it. We’ll see!
I’m trialing four new Delbard roses this year and this is my favourite so far, Souvenir de Marcel Proust:
