How do I know whether I have the Tantau or the Kordes rose? This is very confusing.

These two roses are not totally identical when placed side by side. The Kordes rose is the more vigorous of the two and is very prone to black spot in the PNW but prefers the cooler climate andso grows better than in a very warm one. The flowers are large and have a faint rose scent. The blue colour is stronger in full sun. The Tantau rose has by far the best fragrance and it is very strong. It too has large flowers but they do tend to go pinker in the full sun. Hope this helps.

Variation in fragrance, color, and Blackspot might be due to growing conditions? How about leaves and thorns, any difference there? I'm trying to find Kordes' Blue Girl.

I recently bought this rose and it was blooming a dark bright burgundy red. After a few weeks it stopped blooming in the extreme heat, which I expected. We have had some rains recently and Nur Mahal, like most of my roses, has sent out new canes and has bloomed. The odd thing is that the blooms, the first few of which opened today, are bright medium pink - the color of Belinda's Dream or Bayse's Blueberry. Is this due to the heat, a nutrient overload/deficiency, or just something that happens?
Thank you in advance.

Feed your rose and see if the blooms don't darken. Mr. Lincoln does that to me when he needs fed.
