Both are beautiful! Thanks for the pics, I'm comtemplaing gruss an Achen for a shady area of my yard.

Your flowers are wonderful. Fell in love with 'Pink Gruss an Aachen' this spring.

Thank you for this! It's interesting to see the blooms side by side like that.

After seeing your beautiful picture it would be a difficult decision to choose. I'd have to have one of each!

Love them both. I have several of each. lol.

Nice pic, two of my favorite roses. For those considering, regular Gruss can variously show white, apricot, blush, or the same mild salmon that Pink Gruss consistently is. Both are terrific bloomers on a compact, graceful, bushy plant, but susceptible to blackspot.

Oh my!!!
Those are beautiful!!!!! I love the shape!!!
I had Gruss when I was beginning to grow roses in pots. I hated it, because it was this beige thing, and the roses all looked dirty. Most of my roses (including Gruss) died because of my inexperience with overwintering them. I didn't replace it.
But YOURS are STUNNING!!!
Way to go!!

My Gruss must be the white version. It seems to be lighter than yours. It looks the best in May, when our heat is not so deadly. Here is a May photo from a few years ago.

Mine is on the side of my house and doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Kathy, yours is gorgeous too.
My regular gruss can be all over the map as far as color. I think mine is darker right now because it's December in Phoenix and finally gorgeous rose weather.

I have a picture of them side by side also. I am speculating that what I have is not Pink Gruss an Achen because the pink one often has narrower petals towards the centers , can have a button eye , and has more petals ( I counted them) .
I bought my PGaA as Irene Watts. From what I hear no roses in the US sold as Irene Watts are really Irene Watts.
I am not certain about that. My " Irene" plant also seems to have more tea like growth than Gruss. It's more open and airy. To do a better photo study I need more fully opened Gruss blooms.
