Help me identify this lovely pink lass of a rose

| Hi All- I stumbled into a gravel parking lot a few weeks ago and found myself surrounded by the most beautiful display of roses growing along (trained along) a split rail fence. Even in late summer, all were green and healthy with nary a sign of disease and all were blooming like crazy! There was one- a pale, delicious pink- that I simply must have. But I have no idea who she is... can anyone here help me identify her. As I said she was on a split rail fence, so a climber I suppose? (or a rambler?) She was mannerly and full figured but not trying to take over the fence. All the canes were eased along the horizontal rails and seemed pliable enough. No real scent to speak of. I'm leaving these photos large in case that helps. OH- and Michael... this was off Reed Street just south of Biltmore Village if by chance you know those roses. Nichole PS That is my hubby's arm holding the flower so you can tell it is a large flower.

| New Dawn? It's only a guess made by photos. New Dawn is NEVER that attractive here. Kim |

| Thanks! Whether or not it is New Dawn, I guess I'd better order one for myself since it does get high marks from you wise rosarians. I'll add it to my Chamblee's Fall order. DH is building me an arbor. I thought I'd read that New Dawn was very vigorous and robust... this lass was so mannerly on the fence but maybe the one I saw is just a younger bush. |

| Did it have a lot of thorns? My New Dawn is very thorny. |

| If you know the people who own it well enough, beg a few cuttings. (spent flower stems) It roots like the weed it is. It's easily enough rooted, it could well be used for root stock. Kim |

| New Dawn is not mannerly. It sounds like who ever takes care of the fence works to make it so. |

| I wonder if it could be Susan Louise since the flowers seem more informal and open. Ingrid |

| The petal substance and yellow under tones of Susan Louise are quite different. The foliage shown in the photos is definitely more Wichurana-like than a Gigantea hybrid. The petal substance and foliage differences are very reminiscent of the differences between Mademoiselle de Sombreuil and "Sombreuil". Wichurana "stamps" itself on its hybrids quite distinctly. Kim |

| New Dawn was my first thought (I've had six of these monsters in my past), but ND is NOT mannerly, and I don't think those huge canes are particularly flexible. I'd do a lot of research on this rose before I would acquire one. Make sure you have plenty of room for ND. Diane Just looking again at your photos and your mystery rose's blooms seem larger than my ND's were. |

| Hi everyone. I wanted to report back on my mystery rose. I've been so busy with a major renovation that I've been neglecting my daily visits reading your wonderful posts. I've also been neglecting my garden. So many fall clean up chores on the horizon. I doubt bulbs will even get planted this year... I have a small order on the way from Chamblees. It was a total impulse. What was I thinking? My house is a construction zone. And I'm in for some major surgery in the coming months. When will I dote on baby roses? Anyway, I tracked down the owner of this lovely lady and he insists it is a New Dawn. He says it is grafted and came from Canada. It sure looks mannerly... and I know she is not usually... so I might just heed the advice given above and think longer and harder about adding a New Dawn to my collection. Oh but what a beautiful flower. |

Maybe you could just have him come prune it!
*wink* it sure looked gorgeous. I can see why you admired it. |
