I planted two roses in this big pot, thinking orange & yellow: Radiant Perfume & Fragrant Cloud. It's pretty & striped but it is neither. Any idea? I thought it looked like a Candy Land but fortunately it's not climbing (yet!)

As always your gardening help is appreciated!

Sure is pretty ... maybe Rose (Rosa 'Scentimental') ?

Sounds like that's it. Only characteristic that doesn't fit is the description of the buds as pointed. These are rounded, I believe. Right?

Julie: I don't know a lot about Roses so 'Scentimental' was just a guess on my part. Why not post over on the Roses Forum: http://garden.org/forums/view/... and see if one of the more knowledgeable growers can help.

Lin,

Your first instinct was correct! It's a Scentimental! Gal at the local nursery I bought it at confirmed it!

Thanks!

Julie, you are very welcome .. it was just a guess because I once had Scentimental and it reminded me of that pretty rose. Don't forget to add your lovely photo to the database if you haven't already. Rose (Rosa 'Scentimental')
