"Eric's Red 1" rose Reviews & Comments

I believe “Eric’s Red” could well be ‘Daily Mail Scented Climbing’. Unfortunately half the heat-singed petals dropped as I put the comparison bloom of DMS next to it to photograph. I am presuming it is the climbing version from Rose Marsh’s photo of the original plant, which looks about six feet at Eric’s property.

Could this be 'Crimson Glory Climbing'?

I am not sure about that Jay-Jay. I have never seen the bush but have some cuttings striking. Hopefully the discoverer will chime in on her recollection of the scent.

It's very distinctive. Once taken a deep sniff and one will never forget!
Had to look up the: "to chime in". Still not completely sure. It's not from chimes, but "breaking in this conversation"... is that what You meant?

As for looks of the opened flower, the left-overs, when the petals fell off and the dark shading, it could be Crimson Glory Climbing.
On HMF, on most photo's for the rose Crimson Gl. Cl. its red color is presented too bright and too light. It's more of a silk-matte dark red with much darker shadings(leaning towards black).

Jay, Jay, This Rose has the most beautiful strong perfume, with striking blooms of a deep red with a velvety sheen. As you say it looks a lot darker than the pictures of Cl Crimson Glory. Rose M

Most photo's of Cr. Gl. Cl. depicture that rose too light-red and too shiny. Due to the limitations most camera's have for de-picturing dark-red (with darker shadings) and velvety roses. (I suppose caused by ultraviolet reflections)
