This rose changes its appearance during the season!
In spring it is off-white with a slightly pinkish centre. In summer, almost all the white vanishes and its a orangy/buff/salmon/pinkish roseflower. Only the outer petals have a hunch of white. The fragrance is good and it blooms in flushes. The first flush is awesomely abundant!!!
Floating flowers in a bowl always attract the attention of visitors.
It makes a good standard-rose.

Hello!, I need your help with this rose, please. I bought it last winter and the label was wrong (as Golden Celebration). I have some doubts about its possible name. Could it be A Shropshire Lad?. The bush is quite tall (150 cm +/-) and wide, with arching canes and it has got few thorns. These are the photos of the first blooms.
Thank you very much.

This is probably Eglantyne by Austin. A second possibility is Anne Boleyn.

I agree, most likely to be Anne Boleyn. AB is a really lovely rose. I saw one at the nursery and looks almost identical to the one you have. I'm planning to get AB next year.
