I grow 'Rose du Roi -- original', which was propagated by Vintage Gardens as a reversion from 'Panachee de Lyon'. The rose in this picture has different foliage from my plant, and it and the bloom form more closely resemble that of my 'Honorine de Brabant' and 'Ferdinand Pichard'. Based on the pic, I'd guess that the rose here is actually the rose going under the names 'Belle Doria', 'Commandant Beaurepaire', and 'Panachee d'Angers'. The last name may be the origin of the error.

I believe this rose to be correctly labelled, I bought it from a reliable source. I have Honorine de Brabant and the rose are more cupped form and the bush is huge, the wrong size for this Portland rose. Commandant Beaurepaire (which I also have in my garden) is also a huge rose bush, the flowers are not at all similar. They are both very large vigorous Bourbon bushes with completely dissimilar striped flowers. Bourbon roses are not at all similar in bush form to Portlands which are generally shorter in stature and less vigorous.
Thanks for your interest.

While my guesses as to its correct identity may not be accurate, your plant seems so dissimilar to the rose I grow, which is its sport-parent -- and more specifically in my case, a reversion of 'Panachee de Lyon'. Please compare your pics of buds to those of 'Rose du Roi' and note the different shape of yours (i.e. more pointed) and that it lacks the degree of glandular projections.
