Hello,
I have a beautiful old Rose bush I "inherited", but do not know the name of the rose. The loose muddled, large blooms (In the vase) are peachy in colour with a strong fragrance. The Plant is about 1m Hight 30cm across with straight upright stems. Sparse large thorns. Repeat Blooms spring until autumn (UK)
Any leads on a name would be grateful.
Many Thanks
D

This seems to be a Bouquet, the foliage is not from the rose. Do you have a photo of the plant?

Hi, Yes there were some other leaves in the vase. I will have to photograph the bush.a couple of the bright green leaves are visible in the middle. D

It looks like it could be a tea rose. Is Bath warm enough for teas to grow. Does the rose perhaps grow in a pocket where it would stay warm, such as in front of a south facing wall?

Hi Nastarana,
Bath is in the South of the UK so Temperate. It is in a full sun location but is exposed and would have frost in the winter. I was thinking it a Centifolia or Damask rose?

..it's all rather vague... are these blooms recent? how big is the bush, height and width? it is thorny? how well does it repeat bloom?... and any idea when it was planted originally.... this is all information that's needed really... as well as photos of the foliage and growth habit... it could just as easily be an Austin rose...

Further details added.

..thank you for the extra photos... it's a pity we cannot see any blooms on the bush itself, but the foliage to me says modern, very modern look about it.. also the fact it repeats into autumn... it's rare to find a Tea rose growing here... we don't grow those much, and few are available... it's usually Austins but in this case I would guess at 'Joie de Vivre' a Kordes rose... some photos of it look like yours, and some don't...

Thank-you Malorena,
I think that’s a good possibility, I thought my bloom was more “loose” but as you say it appears to take on a lot of different forms - almost every picture. One thing I did notice Is the bud started like a hybrid tea then opened to look more like an old rose which this appears to do!
I’m afraid the picture in the vase was taken back in the summer, since then I’ve had to move the bush, so at the moment no blooms, the leaves here look very fresh and shiny as it’s new growth from re plant.
I think I will have to wait until next year now to get a good image of the blooms and bush habit together.
Many thanks for this suggestion I’ll look out to see if all fits later on.

The blooms look like Joie de Vivre but the leaves and growth habit don't. Also, Joie de Vivre has only mild fragrance.

......I may have found another strong contender Donatella, Meilland 2009.

Typically centifolia and damask wouldn't have a peachy colour. The yellow pigments usually come via china/tea's or foetida.
The foliage also is not right for either as centifolia and damask are typically more matte/fuzzy than glossy.
I'd be looking at tea's or more modern

Bath would be warm enough to grow some of the tougher Tea roses.

Possibly 'Las Vegas' (KORgane)?

A beautiful Rose, I wonder if this has been lost from all the catalogues or do some still stock it?

I am afraid you and your parents might be the last having this rose. Would be worth propagating it.
