Could you please identify this rose? It was supposed to be a Tess of The d'Urbervilles, apparently, it isn't.

    Why don't you contact David Austin roses directly and ask them.  They'll want to know who supplied it as Tess of the Durbevilles is a luscious deep red and has darker leaves as I recall from the one I had in my last garden.

    @Marlorena might be able to point you in the right direction. 
    I'm pretty sure it isn't Graham Thomas as that's more of a rich yellow, although it can be difficult to tell from a photo.

    I have Malvern Hills, Graham Thomas, The Pilgrim and Teasing Georgia and it doesn't look like any of those.

    What colour are the buds? Are they yellow or do they have a reddish flush? I can't see many thorns. I was wondering if it could be Roald Dahl, but maybe yours isn't apricot enough.

    It looks a little like my Port Sunlight but I wouldn't like to say for definite as mine isn't really thriving.

    Thank you all! "Bring me Sunshine" looks very convincing, though as I remember my rose does not pick a noticeable apricot tone, so I am not sure.



    Maybe @Obelixx is right, and I should contact David Austin roses.

    @Marlorena - I am from Hungary, so you don't have to put anyone on a blacklist. 

    @Busy-Lizzie - Here is a photo of a bud.

    Some confusion here I thought your rose was actually flowering at the moment?
