Can anyone help with mine? I inherited these when we moved in and as they flowered on the same day my daughter was born I quite want to look after them. They don’t look too healthy to me. What should I do?
@bethany.s.rex76493 welcome to this rose thread. It is difficult to identify a rose without photos of the flower, leaves etc. I wouldn't do anything just now, but would give them a hard prune in winter, mulch and feed them in spring and then see how they perform next season.

I must say I am a little disappointed in the way its flowers develop and die, all too quickly.
More news about the development of my R. ‘Alexandra David-Neel’... Since the beginning of the month it has developed about a dozen flowers, which is more than what it displayed in the Spring. Nice perfume, nice colour and nice buds and the foliage looks very healthy too. However, I'm still disappointed at the short life of the flowers, and the fact than when dying they look so ugly. I've written to the grower, Delbard, and am waiting for their answer.
What’s your weather been like @Papi Jo? Blooms do brown and blow faster in heat. It could also be immaturity, roses often bloom more and individual blooms last longer once the rose has got it’s roots down properly. Do let us know what Delbard say.

1. Orange/Apricot goes to Roald Dahl, and
2. Pink goes to Royal Jubilee, pipping Olivia Rose Austin, due to the deeper pink colour and that beautiful chalice bloom.
