Does anyone recognize this as 2nd Street Tea? I think that's what this one is, but I lost the tag.
I think this is an Austin, but I've never been able to figure out which one.
Prosperity
Francois Dubruil and Mme Lombard
This white climber is gorgeous, but I forgot her name. She's up there with Noella Nabonnand and Renae though.

| More beauties in a wonderful setting! Your Francis Dubruil is the largest bush of that variety that I've ever seen and the flowers are gorgeous. The unknown Austin rose looks like Pat Austin to me. It's one of my favorite roses. |

| I have Pat Austin elsewhere, and this one is orange like her, but fades to yellow really quickly. There are some bloom stages with orange in the middle and yellow on the outside petals. I got it at a cutting party years ago and I've never had a name for it. |

| Your garden is so beautiful and romantic! I love the lush, informal quality with all those big, dramatic roses. The wooden structure for climbers is really a wonderful addition to your garden. |

| Thanks for the garden tour - I enjoyed it immensely. I do not grow it, but is it possible that the unknown Austin is Troilus? The photos on HMF look similar, and according to HMF it should be thornless (or nearly so) and fragrant. |

| Love your garden----the pictures are large on my computer and I feel as if I could walk right into your garden----- Great pictures-- Florence |

| Very impressive! I love those huge overgrown roses--they don't do that in the midwest, at least in my area. Wish they did--though with no late freezes this year (most unusual), the roses are looking lusher and more luxuriant than they ever have before. Kate |

| Thanks everyone. I looked up Trolius, and in the bud stage it isn't orange like whatever rose this is. |
