Hello everyone,
I bought a rosebush on sale in a supermarket, 50 cm high at the moment, first flower 6/7 cm in diameter, no fragrance.
Any idea who this rose is?
Thanks in advance,
Huyustus

Is this zepherine drouhin?
I moved into my house (built ca. 1930) 3 years ago, and this rose was here. Zone 6b. It’s in partial shade. Completely thornless upright canes. I let her grow and she’s over 8 feet tall. Glossy leaves. It blooms in flushes, one spring one fall with a few random flowers in between. It mostly has single upright blooms but there have been a few stems carrying 2 blooms. Double flowers with a mild spicy tea scent. Red stamens with golden pollen, and pointed buds of deep pink that open lighter and fade to light pink. The blooms last about 4 days. It may have mosaic virus as some of the leaves are mottled with a light yellow color. (Would that effect how the blooms look?) Thanks for your time!

Doesn't look like Zéphirine Drouhin to me. Stamens do not match, the bud either. Nor is the foliage that glossy.
However, I do not know which rose this is or could be.

Hello my fellow Rose enthusiasts! I would request your expertise in identifying these roses.
I am based out of South of India. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hello! I am trying to identify the pink rose inside the boxwood hedges. I've looked tirelessly for this rose but can't find it. I love the upright and also arching/drooping/reaching canes, the bouquet-like flower clusters, the somewhat untidy and airy fullness, and the height of perhaps 4 feet (compared to the appx. 1-foot hedge?). Thanks so much!

First guess 'Nathalie Nypels'.

Thank you, Robert. 'Nathalie Nypels' is one I haven't seen before and I will look more into it. I notice the height is only 2 feet, however, according to David Austin's website.

It is a Getty image and I am thinking it is located in Europe. I've contacted them but the photographer had no information on it.

I did think it was a European garden, possibly in the UK..
My first guess on the pink rose was 'Bonica'.. which is found a lot in gardens here due to its continuous bloom habit and disease resistance.. it also has a floppy habit..
I think the red in the background might be 'F.J. Grootendoorst'..

I agree that it looks like 'Bonica'.

Thank you, Malorena! When you say you have a lot of Bonica here, where are you located? Also, I am interested in the floppy habit you describe. I was told before that it has a more rigid than this picture, as well as fully flush with flower clusters versus the sporadic bouquets with more greenery in the picture. Thank you.

I'm in England. 'Bonica' is a great rose here, very healthy too. I have seen it as a climber to 10 feet on a wall, but usually free standing it forms a floppy shrub as in your picture. I grew it here for some years.
I'll see if I can post pictures. I had to tie it back to a fence, and put stakes in to stop it flopping as it's a narrow border.
I zoomed in on your picture to compare, and I think the foliage looks very similar too.
2 photos of 'Bonica' in my garden.

Any other guesses, Mr Rippetoe? David Austin does not think it's one of theirs, and another post here suggested Bonica.

That photo is of the Los Angeles Rose Garden in Pasadena, according to the landscape architect, but the only clue is that they are David Austin cultivars. Perhaps someone who lives close by could tell you.
Good eye, Mr Rippetoe!

Ah. I was guessing Europe. Too many Austins to venture a guess.

Oh, I see. I thought is was an actual DA cultivar based on what the OP said. Much older than that.

The Pasadena landscaper was only using this as a marketing item, so it is not his work. He lists it as a David Austin rose but that was his guess only. David Austin's customer service, after looking at the photo, does not believe it's one of theirs! The original photo is a Getty image.

That seems a rather deceptive practice by the landscaper! But I must give you credit for persistence.

Thank you, and I agree! However, the picture is found so many places around the internet!
