Sulphur-yellow something. This is growing by the ruins of a 100-year-old cottage, and photographed mid-winter. Pruned constantly by cattle, hasn't been watered for decades (we have a mediterranean climate.) Fairly stiff branches. Arching growth to about 2.5m (8'). I think there is another about 20 miles away, growing on a low fence, and resisting attempts to strike it from cuttings. The colour varies a bit with the weather. I can't detect much scent, but it is winter. I assumed it was a Tea; but someone mentioned Solfaterre.

We went back to see this rose in its magnificent Spring flowering, and decided that it's Cloth of Gold.

While attending the Philadelphia Flower Show this year, I saw a variegated rose (maroonish/white) with the following label: "Rosa Floribunda Sentimental Rose." It was a striking rose, and had a lovely scent. I cannot find it on the HMF website. Does anybody out there know of this rose, and where I may be able to purchase one? Any help will be gratefully received! Thank you.

When the rose search engine was designed for the HelpMeFind website, we took into consideration that people might use various spellings for a rose, or part of the name of a rose, other kinds of variations of the name.
If you cannot find your rose by clicking on the "Begins With" radio button, try the "Contains" button and enter what you think is the most important part of the name. If you are not certain of the spelling, you can use the "Sounds Like" radio button. That gives you three ways to find your rose.
Even though the HelpMeFind database is one of the largest, if not the largest, rose databases on the Internet, we are still adding roses and rose information daily.
You will find the rose 'Rosa Floribunda Sentimental Rose' by typing in the name 'Sentimental' in the rose search field. HelpMeFind does not use the convention of using the word "Rosa" at the beginning of a rose name as this is a rose database and it is unnecessary.
There is another striped rose with a very similar name hybridized by Tom Carruth on the site, too. It is named 'Scentimental'.

Sounds like a fairly recent rose which is spelled Scentimental (with a c). From one of the major breeders (mine has lost its label), so it should be easy to find.

Many thanks - it is "Scentimental" - it looks very much like "Ava Gabor" but is a darker red.

Sulphur-coloured something again (Cherry Gardens rose).

Is it thornless (without prickles, for the purist)?
Was it used as a rootstock in the late 19th or early 20th century?
