How can I find the name of my thornless rose bush from just the description of the flower?

The flowers start off cream colored, but as they age, they get almost deep ruby red to pink streaks and pink coloring in the petals. New growth is a deep ruby red, and it is definitely nearly 99% thornless. My bush is over five feet tall, and almost as wide. If anyone wants more details, and thinks they have an answer, I can also email them a picture of both the shrub and the flowers at their different stages.

Unfortunately finding a name of any rose is quite difficult because there are sooooo many. But with some luck, you may get lucky!





Your best bet is to:


a) post a picture here and see what results you get,


b) contact your local rose garden club and see if they can help,


c) post a picture at the gardenweb forum and see what results you get (www.gardenweb.com go to forums, garden web galleries, name that plant...),


d) contacting some rose nurseries (try www.ashdownroses.com, www.heirloomroses.com, www.antiqueroseemporium.com)





It would help if you knew about the rose...How old is it? Did you plant it? Does it have a scent? Do you know what type of rose it is...Things like that.





Hope this helps! :)
