Please help me identify this rose that I fell in lust with this week. It's from a friend's garden, but she doesn't know what it is. The bush is 5 ft. tall, there are four or five blooms at the end of a long stem. The blossom is 6 1/2 inches across (be still my heart!) and it reminds me of the most blousy, romantic evening gown you have ever seen.

Please add a picture. There are thousands of roses that match your verbal description.

I think that with blossoms of 6 1/2 inches in diameter, it's perhaps too big to be Queen Elizabeth?

In cool weather QE can get very big. I used to grow it in a marine fog zone in San Juan Capistrano. And looking at the unbloomed sprays on the whole plant pic, those are very characteristic of the manner in which QE usually blooms, i.e., long, wide spaced sprays.

Oh! That is so helpful to know. I was told that it has under 50 petals. Does that fit the description of QE?

yes. official description of QE is 38 to 40 petals. Look up Queen Elizabeth on this website and scoot around the photos tab to see more,

Do the edges of the petals look different to you from my edges?

I was wondering if you could recommend your favorite fragrant roses which are also disease resistant? I need a yellow or apricot climber and then any color bush roses that you can think of (tea roses and floribunda, especially). I live near the coast in central California. The garden is in full sun most of the day.
Thank you so much,
Mara Alverson

Sutter's Gold Climbing is doing great as for disease-resistance as well as for scent and as for the requested color... At least at my place. Several Califs recommended it to me, so it might do well over there too.
As for the other relative disease resistant and fragrant roses in the HT class: Try Prince Jardinier, Parole and or Line Renaud.

Crepuscule, Tea-noisette 1904, copes well with salt winds.

The advanced search does not seem to be working under plants lookup. I and another person have not been able to do our search.
Thanks,

Too many selections. The Advanced search is not THAT good.
Reduce it to three, e.g. Yellow, Climbing, Disease resistant.
Then then try it with white, or apricot.
After you have been through all that, just go out and buy Buff Beauty’.
