This is a very beautiful large flower rose, its color is Bright Vibrant cherry red with a velvety texture, and the back of the petals has a pearlescent or silver hue. When it is about to wither, its petals will turn rose-purple tone. The fragrance is not strong.
The leaves are very large and quite glossy. The plant is very upright and has good growth.
This variety is commonly called 'Caprice de Meilland' in China, but it is clearly a misnomer.
Someone suggest it's "Bolshoï"(MEIzuzes), but I think Bolshoi is not that red( more pinkish?), the leaves are not that glossy.
I noticed the rose "Yakimour", lookes quite alike. but the information is very limited so I still not sure about it.
Does anyone know its real name?

Thank you for your reply! I also doubt it was westerland before .but after a closer look the westerland has very unique leaves(thick, shiny, waved on edges). And leaves of this one does not look like that.
Petals of westerland has a special gold tone especially on the reverse, And the edge of the pedals are waved. And this one does not have that kind of gold tone, and the edge of the pedals are curly(like HTs) other than waves.

Is there anyone who can identify the variety of this rose bush? The foliage is sturdy (thick and shiny), the flower in the photo measures 10 cm. The fragrance is light to medium, like tea rose.

Hello again,
I’ve found this Rose with big white flowers 2 weeks ago.
She has no thorns (!) and grew next to a rose arch which was occupied by an overgrowing rootstock or wild rose. The habit was more hybrid-tea like but the location or overgrowing rootstock seemed to have weakened her just a bit. Nevertheless she grew over a meter, seemed too stiff to be a climber, but she could be cut more than needed.
She flowered mid-june in Germany and for now (end of june) has no flowers just big green pedicels (?). Big white flowers with a pink hue, could be scented but I just remember their beauty. Didn’t seem like Gruß an Aachen to me, but that one is a shape-shifter.

If it produces more crops of flowers, it would be worth looking at Mme Alfred Carriere. Most people consider it scented. Though it would be ambitious for someone to plant a rose which can get very big, in a restricted site.

Thank you! I think it really is Mme. Alfred Carriere. All those features revealed her, even the unripe hips check as well. Her anomaly could be explained by the subpar location which the rootstock took advantage of.
But don’t be fooled, the arch is over 2 meters at the highest point, but you’re right a Noisette will still need and take up more space.
Even two low-climbing Roses would have been better suited, but they may not possess the beauty of those flowers.

You're welcome. I can't help with your red rose, unless it's Crimson Glory (1935) - I don't know modern roses at all.

It will be that newer Kordes-Rose, but I was amazed, in the local rosary it was a rather ugly burned dark-red rose.
Have you by chance experienced “Crimson King”?
