This is my first Rose. Purchased at Lowe's earlier this year, and it was tagged as a 'New Dawn' yellow. Sadly, I have misplaced the tag, and I'm wondering if any of you are familiar with this Rose? The only entries I've found for 'New Dawn' are white. Is there a way that I can verify 'New Dawn'? In yellow? It is beautiful, and wonderfully fragrant.
Thanks for looking, and any opinions you may add. Smiling

That's a lovely rose, but I don't think it is New Dawn. As you noted she is either pale pink or white (White New Dawn) Probably someone here can identify your rose; it will help if you can tell all you know about it: thorns, fragrance, etc..

As Porkpal said, New Dawn is pink. There is a White New Dawn and a New Dawn Rouge, but no yellow rose has been given that name. Presumably, it would have to be a climber to warrant the use of the "New Dawn" name by Lowe's, so I think you'll have to look through the yellow climbers to find the correct name. If it was a relatively inexpensive rose, it probably is not patented, and the only one I can think of that's sold regularly in the chain nurseries is Golden Showers, which doesn't match the shape of the rose in your photos.

Rose (Rosa 'Golden Showers')

Here's a possible ID. It could be Sun Flare, which was sold to me years ago as Yellow Blaze. It's a climbing floribunda with high-centered blooms.

Wow! Thanks so much… @porkpal, this may give you an idea of the thorns...
Thumb of 2013-11-18/terrafirma/088b42
And as far as the fragrance…I'm not sure how to describe it…One morning, I went out and thought for a minute there that I was smelling something ick…Almost insecticidal, but later in the day, it was a very mild pleasant fragrance. "Pleasant" doesn't give much to go on. *Blush* I'll have to spend some time with this one on the fragrance to see if I can come up with something more descriptive.

Thanks for what you've given me so far! Also you @zuzu… SO much to learn with Roses! I tip my hat to you.

The scent is reported to be licorice. I can't tell how thorny Sun Flare is from the pictures in the database; perhaps Zuzu knows. Her photo certainly looks like your rose.

I brought a beautiful bud into the house yesterday, so that I could enjoy the visual beauty and the fragrance. I'm still trying to determine what rose it may be. Hubby said that the fragrance reminded him of a rose that his Grandmother grew some 50 years ago. A bush, Red, bloomed off and on all year long.
I'd love to be able to identify this one…Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated!

Could it possibly be King's Ransom ???

It doesn't seem to have as many petals as King's Ransom.

Rose (Rosa 'King's Ransom')

We were presuming that it had to be a climber to be sold as New Dawn Yellow, and King's Ransom is a hybrid tea that doesn't climb.

Since it was sold by Lowes, I would not be surprised if it were completely mislabeled and not even a climber.

Alas, yes, I wouldn't be surprised either. Shrug! Oh well, I'll just enjoy it for what it is, and not worry about putting a name to it. Thanks, everyone! Big Grin

Perhaps as it grows larger, it will be easier to identify...
