I have pictures of it but don't know how to upload them onto this forum
The rose in question was bought by my neighbour a few years ago in a newspaper offer
It is rich deep red
huge flower - handspan width of about 6 inches
doesn't have many thorns and is strong upright
the flower seems to last a long time
the petals are dense
It is soooooooooooo beautiful
Now how do I put a picture of it on here
PS the camera is new so I really am struggling ATM

In the meantime you could try checking

it's a searchable database of rose varieties. You can put in the color and all the other characteristics you are aware of and it will give you names of roses that fit that description. If you look up those names, you should be able to tell if it is yours or not.

I suspect it isn't David austin as it came in a newspaper offerMarlingardener wrote:I agree, it isn't Dark Lady. Do a stroll through the David Austin roses. Judging from the amount of petals, it may well be one that he developed. Most of his roses are scented, so if yours doesn't have a scent, even a light one, it probably isn't an Austin.
probably just something a company wanted to unload

or this?
I have now e-mailed David austin with photographs
I suggested two roses and they dismissed one but said it "might be the other"
The other was Hugh Dickson I think
I am on the other side of London so it is quite a way AND it isn't my roseMarlingardener wrote:Pudita,
I see you are in London. Could you take a rose with about 12" of stem with leaves, put it in a sealed transparent plastic bag, and take it to Kew Gardens? The sealed bag is very important in order to not infect their plants with any bug/disease the rose might be harboring. I'm sure they have several rosarians there that can help.
Sorry the David Austin site didn't work out.
I just looked at Ena Harkness and it doesn't look like this one and it isn't scented
