| Hello. Did anyone ever come up with further thoughts on the ID of that rose? I think I received the same one as a "mystery rose" from Rogue... I will take a photo soon. Susan |

| Finally took the phone into the garden while working this weekend. Here is the bloom...I took another of the foliage if you need it... Thanks! Susan |

| That's not like mine. The flowers on mine aren't even as big as a quarter, and they're a "messy single" (there are more than five petals, with petaloids in the center as well). 'Lyda Rose', on the other hand, is what I'd call a "clean single" (flowers are five petals, and no random petaloids in the center), and your rose is like that as well. But I'm not quite sure if you have 'Lyda Rose' there. Hmmm....... :-) ~Christopher |

| Christopher, that bloom is about the size of a Silver Dollar. I have Lyda and this not Lyda...dang it! Mine does have small leaves and it seems to grow like a rambler. I'm going to take another look at your photo. I will take a shot of my Lyda when she blooms again. Susan |

| Check out 'Sally Holmes' as a possibility for yours. :-) ~Christopher |

| No...it's not Sally Holmes....I can't believe no one here has some good guesses (or is unwilling to share them). Susan |

| Susan, I'm trying to figure mine out by going to RVR's site and using their advance search, picking characteristics I see in mine. I figure if it's another rose, it has to be something in their inventory. I was doing the same for yours, but I have only that one picture to go by. I'll try again now, but perhaps you'd have better luck, being as you have the whole plant in front of you. :-) ~Christopher |

| Another possibility for yours: 'Irish Elegance' :-) ~Christopher |

| Gosh, I didn't know you were searching for mine. Thanks! That is a great idea for narrowing down options and it did not even occur to me...duh. I think you hit the nail on the head with Irish Elegance. I think that's what I've got. And I've got two of them. Going to have to check the foliage etc. Any progress on yours? Thanks again for helping. Susan |
