Hello,
Can anyone tell me which rose this is please?
I moved house and left this beautiful rose behind and would like to try and grow similar in my new garden! It bloomed May and end of Summer too.
Thank you x

Can't you ring the new owner and ask for a cutting?

Scrowy · 05/06/2022 08:11

It looks a bit like the David Austin Lady of the Lake I have. Not sure if it is that but its definitely similar.

If you go on the David Austin website you will definitely be able to find one you like.

croft85 · 05/06/2022 08:13

@MintJulia thanks, yes I could but it’s 6 hours away. Should have taken one when we moved!

@Scrowy great, thank you - will take a look!

I would have a look at the David Austin website and see if you can find something similar (or see if you recognise that one on there, on the off chance it’s a David Austin rose).

Could it be buff beauty? Mine had more of a salmon tinge to it, but a similar change in the colour of the flower as it aged.

Email David Austin with the pictures and ask them, also mention where you want to plant it, they're SO lovely and helpful!

Mosaic123 · 05/06/2022 22:14

Might it be one called Peace? My parents had it.

I've just had a look on the website and it does look really similar. What a beautiful rose.

FictionalCharacter · 05/06/2022 22:17

Queen Elizabeth maybe?
@Mosaic123 not the right colour for Peace

MereDintofPandiculation · 07/06/2022 17:06

Penelope? It’s a hybrid musk like Buff Beauty, but pink rather than apricot.

Peace and Queen Elizabeth are both hybrid teas, so have that “perfect rose” shaped flower, and not in clusters.

This isn’t a HT, it has much more informal shaped flower. (It’s the wrong colour for either Peace or QE)

MereDintofPandiculation · 07/06/2022 17:08

Actually, not Penelope, neither that nor Buff Beauty are repeat flowering.

MereDintofPandiculation · 07/06/2022 17:10

If it’s repeat flowering, it’s more likely to be a modern rose, and David Austin pioneered the breeding of modern roses with that old fashioned look, so his web site is a very good place to start.

CatherinedeBourgh · 08/06/2022 16:12

My buff beauty did flower twice but not in the UK.

How tall and wide was it, OP?

gluenotsoup · 08/06/2022 22:13

Is it a rambling ride? Blushing Lucy maybe?

gluenotsoup · 08/06/2022 22:13

Rose not ride😬

CPL593H · 08/06/2022 22:25

Looks like it might be a New Dawn to me, which is a sport of the older Dr W van Fleet. Gorgeous and quite distinctive scent. My grandparents had the latter along one side of the garden, struck by my grandfather from his childhood home. Her managed to strike it again when Mum got married so she could have one. There is a bit of an art to that and it would probably be easier to buy if you can, both are on the David Austin site.

ThisisMax · 08/06/2022 22:31

Its one of the French or Pemberton bred noisettes. Its similar to Blush noisette - was the fragrance very sweet and talcum powdery? Its not new dawn or buff beauty or peace. Look at trevor white rose site- better on historical ones. It also reminds me of Marie Pavie but too tall maybe.

Googling suggests that yes, Buff Beauty and Penelope are repeat flowerers. I was going from my own experience in a shady Yorks garden! So Penelope is a possibility. So is Blush Noisette but isn’t that a slightly tighter flower?

Buff Beauty is apricot so its not that for sure. Penelope has a more open central eye and less pink. I thought about Felicia then but I still think its a Noisette rose because of the back arrangement of the buds. Blush noisette I grow a lot and its more evenly pink: historicroses.org/noisettes/

Good list of Noisettes here worth a google:

Is it this?

Thank you very much for all the replies - it looks like DA lady of the lake to me! But I’m going to email them photos to check!
