Can anyone help me identify this old rose? It's fragrant, vigorous and has thorns.

Christine, that may be difficult to positively ID because there are so many older fragrant roses. I'll post in the rose forum and see if any others can chime in.

A friend thinks this is Marchessa Bocella. I'm not sure since the rose seems to have long 'arms' and so might be a climber, which I don't think applies to Marchessa.

No I don't think it's Marchesa Boccella either, which is a very full formed rose with a lot more petals than your rose.

The foliage is glossy which should help, according to Heirloomroses Felicia has " glossy, deep green foliage" and it's an old rose. It is an old favourite.

That is a good possibility, and it has the possible height in the description. Check out the additional photos too.

Is this the same rose that you identified as Odee Pink in your photo caption?



Is that a guess or was it labeled? We have an entry for Odee Pink, so the photo didn't have to go on the parent Rosa page.

I'll move the one on the Rosa parent page to the Odee Pink entry, and Christine can add her other photos to that entry if they're all of the same rose.

The rose I'm wondering about (that my friend thinks is Marchessa Bocella) is different from the photo I posted of Odee Pink.

When I look at photos of Felicia, my mystery rose doesn't look like that. Plus, it doesn't have an intense fragrance, which Felicia is supposed to have. I'll keep watching the blooms and check back! Thanks for the great input.
