'Isabella Sprunt' rose Reviews & Comments

Trying to identify a couple yellow teas I purchased several years ago. I believe I have Isabella Sprunt. My blooms ball after a very heavy rain. Do yours? If not, ideas? Lovely plant and superb flowers.

I don’t think my ‘Isabella Sprunt’ balls at all.
You might like to take a look at the Australian foundling “Jane Cranston” for some name clues in the main page and Members Comments.

'Alexander Hill Gray', although more double, is a similar colour to 'Isabella Sprunt' and it balls. Maybe check that variety out as well.

I don't think "Jane Cranston" and Isabella Sprunt have enough petals to ball much.

It must be Alexander Hill Gray then. That was one of the other varieties I was considering. Many thanks.

Digdahlias, is it possible to post photos of your mystery rose? It might be something else altogether.

I had two little blooms - the rest of them balled the other day after a rainstorm. Here’s the best image I could get this evening.
Plants I was looking at a few years ago include Alexander Hill Grey, Blumenschmidt, Isabella Sprunt among others. I have another yellow tea that doesn’t ball - I’ll post that pic later so not to confuse anything.

It would be nice to have side views of the receptacle (the bit under the bud) and the prickles, for both roses. It might be worth looking at Souvenir de Pierre Notting for this one - it can ball. The other one is pretty.

Hopefully I’ve captured more info in this photo.
Thank you to everyone for your input.

I think it is ’ Étoile de Lyon’ or maybe ’ Perle des Jardins ’

The receptacle of ‘Etoile de Lyon’ in the book Tea Roses, page 99, is much more straight-sided than digdahlias’ photo.
‘Perle des Jardins’ is a notorious baller.

It very well may be Perle des Jardin. That was one I was considering when I ordered this batch of roses several years ago.

Since we are here, can i Ask if ’Isabella Sprunt ’ can get more similar in colour to Safrano, in some specific metereological situations, or it is always yellowish? Thanks

In hot weather, both Safrano and Isabella Sprunt can be very pale, with their colours washed out, but in cooler weather, their individual colours intensify.
If your Isabella Sprunt is producing blooms in shades of buff or apricot, it may be showing a reversion to Safrano. If you have access to Tea Roses. Old Roses for Warm Gardens, there is a photo of this on page 181.

The rose i m not sure it is ’ Isabella Sprunt’ it is in
Boccanegra , an old plant . Growth is identical to
’ Safrano’ and the colour is identical to ’Isabella’ in every season, except in may. Where colours tend to be more similar to ’ Safrano ’ . Experience have told me to be careful with teas and pictures, especially if grown in different climates .Are they Other mutations of Safrano apart from ’Isabella ’thanks

This is my other mystery tea that doesn’t ball. Blooms are lighter and more lemon yellow that’s the other.

This rose looks very much like Isabella Sprunt.

I’ m not really convinced this one which does not ball is ‘ Isabella ‘ it looks more like a seedling with Safrano ,by looking at the shape of the petals and of the leaves. The influence of ‘Safrano ‘ is evident, but it looks more like a seedling

Alexander Hill Gray is a thornless rose, so it's a useful feature to rule this variety in or out as a contender.
