I have a rose that just appeared it took about three years to flower it is white and has many small flowers is floribunda it appears to be a rambling type it flowered once in the season it has a beautiful perfume how can I tell if it is unique
Am sure that there are website that ID rose varieties but I suspect it has grown from a piece of root or from a runner from another garden rather than seed.
I have what looks like a rose - its about 3 feet long now and I have propped it up with a stick. It appeared in the garden about a month or so ago. I didnt know where it could have come from. Neighbour does have roses, a couple, but they aren't near the fence, although my rose is.
I am very pleased and will nurture this rose that arrived without me asking it to live in my garden and I am very pleased that it did.
I have a baby Kiftsgate which the birds have sown for me about 30 metres from its mum. It has also taken 3 years to flower and identify itself and is now happily clambering up a nearby parrotia and also heading for a nearby hedge.
It is glorious and perfumed and not an exact copy but I can't see that it's different enough from mum or Wedding Day or the Rambling Rector to be worth propagating and marketing.

Thankyou the rose is in a place where it can't be a root as it is under a fence with no other roses within 20 metres.
What lab could I contact?
It might be simpler (and certainly a lot cheaper) to look here and try to identify it first
http://www.classicroses.co.uk/ but of course, if it's grown from seed it won't be a known variety - it will be a cross of two different roses.
