Dear Susan,
I´m a San Diego resident and lover of roses. When I arrived to this house there were a little rose (very damaged) but she survived and now is gorgeous. She is just like the one that you posted today under the name of Pike´s Peak. Could you please help me to know the name of the rose. Thanks in advance
Mercedes

Thank you very much! A once-bloomer, but delightful while it lasts.

I assume the blossoms are short lived?
I had R. acicularis itself here for a time.
The blossoms lasted just a few hours each in my climate.
I have quite a few descendants of this cultivar now through, 'Dornroschen'.

Yes, pretty much a one-day wonder here also. Today it is extremely windy, and I think there will be no blooms left by tomorrow morning.
Thank you for the information.

Thank you for the information. May I ask where you garden?
This is a relatively rare rose now. Robert

I am in Albuquerque.
Some rosarian friends found this growing in a nursing home garden not too far from Albuquerque, and they asked and got permission to take cuttings. I was the lucky recipient on one of those cuttings. ~Susan

This appears to be the Climbing Cecile Brunner, and not the older bush form, which is relatively small. This section is for Cecile Brunner, the original bush form.
(Both are beautiful. I just believe this photo belongs with the Climbing form. Thank you.)

Cliff, coloring is always a little difficult to be certain of in a photo. This appears to have a deep red upper, with a more medium red reverse. Is that the way the actual bloom appeared? Thanks.

Sorry I can't respond in a more personal way, since I don't know to whom I'm responding, but you're quite right that the color is a bit off on this photo. I tried my best and couldn't quite duplicate the intense red color of the bloom. The color in the photo is somewhat darker than the actual color of the bloom.

Thanks, Cliff. I thought my name was on it - didn't mean to be anonymous. Do I read you correctly that the color is a deep red, but not quite the purplish that appears here? Is the reverse as deep a red? In the small part of one petal that is slightly furled, the reverse appears to be a more medium red.
What percentage of your blooms on this rose would you estimate show orange as opposed to being solid red?
Thanks - Susan

Hi Susan! No problem on the anonymous issue. I think it depends on whether you were logged in when you submitted the question. I haven't seen "orange" at all, nor have I seen purple. I wish I could describe it better, but it's a bold, brilliant, strong red -- very stunning -- really quite attractive. I wish I could remember the reverse, but I've only had this rose a short period of time (less than a year) and I'm afraid I can't. I'll try to remember to check it when it comes into bloom again.

Hi again, Cliff, and thanks. I'm understanding about the red color (that it is a bold, brilliant, strong red), but how do you describe the color that looks like striping or even "hand painting?" The photo you have posted is not a solid color, and the stripes appear orange in the photo. Thanks - Susan
