I need help identifying a rose. It is a very full rose with a light pink center and apricot tones toward the outside of the bloom.

Any suggestions on ID? The parent plant is tall and healthy; my young cutting-grown potted plant is tall. Pacifier, who collected the cuttings from a Melbourne suburb Braybrook, says the colour is very temperature-dependent, and the scent is like rose soap. He thinks it is a 1950s or '60s Peace type, possibly French.
The first flower on my plant is about 12cm across, about the same size as Peace.
It has pink/red stamens. Sorry the reverse photo is out of focus. Photos taken in South Australia, zone 9, summer.

Are you thinking this is a 'Peace' sport or seedling? "Peace' and the sports I have seen have a characteristic puckering along the midribs of their leaflets. I could not see that at all on photo#1, but there might have been some on photo # 4.

As you say, the leaves aren't right for a Peace sport. Could be a descendant.

Might it be 'Confidence'?

Good suggestion. I'll ask Pacifier. Patricia grows Confidence and may like to comment.

I think the suggestion of Confidence might be correct. The comments in the reference section seem to match well with this rose. If correct as Confidence, my initial suspicions were pretty close to the mark if I say so myself!

I was under the impression that ‘Peace’ had dark green leaves - and “Braybrook” has light green leaves.
I have added a 2007 and a 2009 photo of my ‘Confidence’ but the plant, on its own roots has not done well here.

The old leaves on my "Braybrook", not that there are many, are darker than the leaves in my photos.
I'm less certain about the references that suggest a paler reverse to the petals.
However the petals do show a faint striping like those in Patricia's photo.
Can someone who grows Confidence please comment on the stamen colour?

Hello,
The "Paint It Black" rose variety is not equivalent to Meilland's "Black Baccara".
The foliage is very different, and on the label I can see that it's a Kordes creation (but which one? because I looked on their website but couldn't find it).
Perhaps someone is able to identify which cultivar corresponds to this trademark?
Best regards, Huyustus

Hello! Can someone pls help me identify this rose?
We've had this rose for several years, my late father had planted the original one so it's very special to me. It wasn't growing a lot in size, i suspected because it was under the shade of a big tree. So few winters back, i moved it to a sunnier location, but unfortunately it did not survive :(
- It has a very strong musky smell
- It blooms one strong bloom in May and then much weaker ones later (i suspected because of the shade but maybe not)
- It survives snowy winters
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much! Friesia seems to be the closest i have ever seen to it :)
The color seems to be a bit softer/darker on the yellow side in our rose - and is it for sure a Floribunda from our photo?
any other potential guesses?
Super thanks!!

Photos can be misleading, but compared to my BB, the yellow looks a little too saturated. Also, BB definitely likes to climb, even under a tree. Mine is cohabitating well in the branches of a small dogwood

Golden Jubilee (hybrid tea, pre 2014) is my guess, but I really don't know if this Australian rose ever got to Germany.
An actual planting year, rather than "several years ago" might help you eliminate some contenders.

Thank you, it was planted i would say more than 20 years ago! not sure it's golden jubilee as it doesn't have those pink hews on the sides of the petals.
