Can a Gertrude Jeykell rose ever be apricot colour?

[MicrowaveAge]

I have what I thought was a Gertrude Jekyll rose purchased from David Austin Roses about 10 years ago. It is a lovely apricot colour and very fragranced.
Someone has said it can't be a Gertrude Jekyll unless it is bright pink.
I am really surprised as I thought I remembered ordering a Gertrude Jekyll. Here is a picture.
Can anyone advise me on this?

Gertrude jekyll looks like this

must have been a mistake - presume the label is lost now?

a great excuse to buy another rose!!

Think I must have made a mistake!

That’s not Gertrude.

Definitely not. Mine have always been vibrant pink.

I wonder if it could be Lady of Shalott?

As others have said, Gertrude Jekyll is bright pink. It is possible that it was grafted onto a different root stock which has become dominant and burst through though? (I know that’s not gardening lingo, I hope you get my gist).

Is it incredibly thorny? If not it’s def not GJ.

Gertrude is definitely pink and not peach. But it’s still a lovely roar you have, whatever its name!

My Gertrude is scenting the whole garden just now

Could also be Bridge of Sighs. The smell of GJ is very powerful.

Looks like my Lady of Shallot.

I have loved a few mislabelled roses, most turned out happy mistakes like yours OP! Still a lovely rose.

Planted not loved

Thanks all! I have trawled through my emails and discovered that the rose I have is in fact a Lady Emma Hamilton! I have been wrongly claiming to have a Gertrude Jeykyll rose since 2014😂 Still, Lady Emma is very splendid!

So do I, even the Ranbling Rector that had no label. It’s now huge!

Rambling!

Ooh I think you’ve solved a mystery for me OP. I planted this DA rose around 20 years ago and had forgotten the name but Emma Hamilton sounds familiar. Does it look like this?

It fades to a more peachy colour.

Eustacia Vye?

It’s gorgeous OP I prefer it to the Gertrude

It has a glorious smell. I’m going somewhere where they have an Eustacia Vye tomorrow so I can check. All I remember is that it was a woman’s name!.

Don’t think it can be Eustacia Vye as the DA website has that as being bred in 2019 and it’s definitely been in at least 20 years.
