Extremely disease resistant here in Atlanta. It blooms really are a combination of both Dee-Lish and Lady Of Shallot. So far, it is an excellent cultivar.

I would love to know how this one is holding up for you in terms of disease resistance, and whether you have any opinions about the scent. I've hesitated to try it because both parents have proven to be highly prone to blackspot in my garden, and while the parents each have strong and beautiful fragrances to offer, it doesn't sound like this rose is especially fragrant.

Cant wait for yours to mature. I know the desert and yellows don't get along, but among HTs, its in the better category. Not Midas Touch quality of pigment, but a superior plant and bloom size. In some weather, it will have peach threading in the blooms.

I wasn't sure I was going to keep it.
I really should bud it to another stock if I'm to keep it longer.

Just planted my Star of the Republic about 6 weeks ago. First blossom opened today. Had to report on how heavenly the scent is. Wasn't really expecting anything this special. Very strong, rich, sweet myrrh scent with a fruity damask undertone. Fantastic! The bloom itself is also beautiful, apricoty-pink with yellow highlights. Love the bushy shape. So glad I finally decided to give this rose a try.

Hi,
I just got Star of the Republic. I was wondering how this rose is doing in your garden, 10 years later. Also, did you keep it a shrub shape? I am thinking of growing it as a climber. I would really appreciate your observations and thoughts about this rose. Thank you.
I grow in zone 6b (Ohio).

“Ethel Street Peach” looks a delightful rose Billy. The beauty of it for me is the yellow base. How many petals did you count? Some of the photos look more than semi-double. Do you think you should add “occasional white streak” to the description? How does it age? Does it fade, change or retain its colour.
I don’t think it could be Apricot Queen 1940. The foundling’s petals are not wavy enough and Apricot Queen does not have that strong yellow base.
Nor might it be Lady Pirrie - no yellow base.
You would know Mrs A.R. Waddell.
Rochfort seems to have too many petals.
Maman Cochet Cochet shows stamens.
After peering at your photos, my best bet would be Katharine Pechtold <1933.
