Hi from Carzee, a newbie near Lake Macquarie. Planted a $5 rose, my first ever. Its bud started blooming a day or so ago. This pic is from Sunday. My problem is what is the rose's name? I have looked at many photos... seems to be either 'French Perfume' or 'Double Delight'... Thx for any help!

Glad you like it. I was lucky to have some time to take photos of my first rose. Trivial I suppose, but maybe years down the track I'll be very glad I took the trouble to get the pics right. I just finished doing another one from this morning...

Welcome to the forum Carzee-it may be your first rose but I guarantee it won't be your last if you hang around in here.:)
Your pics are stunning!Definitely NOT trivial to take and share pics like these.
It possibly is DD with autumn yellowing of the cream/white.

Thanks for the compliments. I looked out the window first thing this morning and Rosie's bloom looks wider. Another 'bloom-in-progress' photo coming up!

That is a pretty rose. Seems to yellow to be DD. Are the colours on screen fairly true? What is the fragrance like? I don't know French Perfume but DD is very fragrant.
Cheers

Hi and welcome

First rose? It may be the first of many!! Be warned:))
Yes ,I agree with Sandie .Probably Double Delight.Does it have a strong perfume?dark green foliage and large buds/flowers?

Your pics are fabulous. Looking to seeing some more!

Welcome Carzee yes your rose is beautiful it might be your first rose but it probably won't be your last I hope you have lots of garden space as they are very addictive.

Well, here's day 3. Its much more pink now. Unbelievably different looking. This pic is looking down on bloom. Under petals is still yellow.

Hi Carzee. Beautiful photos!! My guess is Double Delight especially as it is getting more pink with age. Also as it is a fairly commonly grown rose, very likely to get it at that special price. Your going to keep that camera busy if you get bitten with the rose bug! Watch out, they're very addictive. I can see you've got symptoms already. ;o) Ann

RE: My first ever rose

Those photo's are marvelous so much better than many rose books avalible !
It makes our need for a didital cammera even worse.
hope when we get it we do half as good.
Still haven't mentioned if there was a perfume?
Be cautious! roses are additive, 2 to 3 wks ago we had about 15 roses in the ground, now have close to 50! and we'er still waiting on 2 bare root deliveries.
