Unidentified Coral Hybrid Tea or Floribunda

Dear all,

Looking for help identifying a rose, which was already well established when I purchased my home in Ireland, a property dating back over a century. It appears to be an own-root plant, with no visible graft union, and has likely thrived for many decades with little intervention.

The rose produces coral-red pointed buds which open into elegant, high-centred cups. At its best, the bloom holds this classic hybrid tea form for just two to three days, after which it begins to reflex and flatten, eventually revealing a dense cluster of bright yellow stamens at the centre. The petals at this stage begin to fade irregularly into tones of peach and white, with a speckled or patchy appearance as the bloom declines.

The scent is subtle but unmistakable—a true rose fragrance, redolent of rosewater rather than citrus or spice. It blooms in great profusion throughout the summer months, often sending up a new flush within weeks of deadheading. The plant produces a dense thicket of upright canes emerging directly from the soil, suggesting an own-root origin rather than grafted stock.

I would be grateful for any assistance in identifying the variety or origin of this rose, or for suggestions on conservation and propagation. Its hardiness, scent, and repeated flowering make it a remarkable survivor—one I believe deserves to be named, if possible.
