Question

2012_Bud   QUESTION: I just submitted a question, asking for assistance on the identity of two different rose bushes.  Here is a phot of the Illinois rose bush with the "Juicy Fruit" fragrance.  It has pink to apricot blooms with a blend of yellow.  Thanks for your help.

ANSWER: Hi Chris,

My first reaction to your photo is: 'Talisman'. The yellow should show more on the inside of the petals.  It is an older rose but a good one none the less.

Is your rose you saw in Dublin a climber?

Please let me know and I can get back with you on that one.

Thanks,

Jay

QUESTION: The Dublin rose was not a climber.  It was a bush.  Probably about 4 feet tall.

Answer
Hi Chris,

Even though it was a bush.  I am going to say it was Compassion.  It is classified as a climber but it can be a shrub to 5 feet in height.  

Go to the link below- click plant search and type Compassion- click 'large flowred climber'- click photos.    There are color variations but you will see one matches that your picture#

We saw it in Northern Ireland and it is a great rose.

Thanks,
