I have had this rose for twenty years on the south side of my house but I don't know it's name. It is extremely fragrant, floribunda, and grows 5 ft. tall. Any ideas?

Sorry I can't help you on the ID. However it is a beautiful rose and you having for twenty years says a lot for the rose.

It resembles Broadway, which is a Hybrid Tea. Broadway was introduced in 1985 and has a strong, Damask scent. Kim

Thanks, Kim and Jack. Could the rose be Sheila's Perfume?

Anything is possible, but the foliage in your photo looks more Broadway to me than Sheila's Perfume. Sheila's is more heavily embossed than how it appears in your photo. Broadway's coloring here is more along the lines of your photo, where Sheila's is more painted looking rather than a "blush" or "sun burn". But, it IS possible it is Sheila in a different climate "disguise". It's as good a guess as Broadway. Kim

Thank you, Kim. I found some pictures of Broadway on Internet and my rose could definitely be it.
