I purchased this rose , potted, this spring.It is already sending out a cane that is a meter tall, and does not seem to be finished growing. And it has flowered, so it does seem to be the correct rose. I wonder if the estimate of 80 cms max as it's height at maturity is correct! The width may be so; it does indeed look to be a narrow grower.

“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.

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.
