I wonder if perhaps this rose is 'Superba' -- see below. And shouldn't this (by now) be merged with "Arcata Pink Globe"?

It probably should be merged Christopher. But then everybody seems to be saying "probably" in connection with this rose. Has anybody grown these two roses near to each other?

See, 'Baltimore Belle'.

I believe they are synonymous.

They're not. What's happened is that some people have been growing "Arcata Pink Globe" aka "Moser House Shed Rose" and calling it 'Baltimore Belle'. The two are similar, except that 'Baltimore Belle' is never that pink. My 'Baltimore Belle' came from Vintage Gardens, and they also grew the pink "Arcata Pink Globe" aka "Moser Shed House Rose", so they saw them side by side.

And see attached close-up of a cluster from 2017 -- this is the pinkest 'Baltimore Belle' ever is, and it's fleeting.

It could just be a vague color sport variation. It happens.

It could.....or it could be another seedling by the same breeder which was said to differ from 'Baltimore Belle' only in being pinker and with blooms slightly smaller....such as in the pic below.

Clonal variations occur frequently. They're close enough that it's a possibility.

I think it's more likely that Feast raised Setigera X Noisette seedlings beyond just 'Baltimore Belle', but that's the only one which survived with its name intact. Looking at the other Setigera Ramblers attributed to Feast, one can see others released which were also described as being "incarnate" -- to me that reads as "shades like those of old non-Tea Noisettes".

The other thing is that while the blooms look very similar, 'Baltimore Belle' isn't quite as "viciously vigorous" as "Arcata Pink Globe" / "Moser House Shed Rose" -- at least from what I've read. I don't grow both, just BB. From what I've read, "the pink one" couldn't be trained into the tree like I've done with BB because "the pink one" is too shrubby and dense at the base. But I'll have both at the cemetery eventually, so I'll be able to compare that myself.

I still think they're two different roses, but most likely full-siblings. Maybe even from the same hip.
