Ok, I think both of these are hybrid teas. Both are "bigbox" roses. (Home Depot) 1 was grossly mismarked, the other, well, they got the color right.

This rose is about 3'. Has the same plant shape as all my Blue Girls.. tall, leggy, thick caned, larger thorns. Medium green leaves, not glossy, not leathery. HIGHLY fragrant. Ovid buds, in cooler weather shows this pink tinge. Doesn't shatter easily. In warmer weather, pure white.

This rose was labeled "Golden Showers", which is a climber. It's gotten to be about 20-24" this year. Ovid buds open to beautiful yellow full flowers. Moderate 'rose' fragrance. In high heat, was very medium / strong yellow. Now that we've got cooler weather, showing this orange tinge. Leaves are a medium green with a slight leathery look. Again, larger thorns (no prickers). Not as leggy, but still a very up-right plant. Only about 16" wide. Canes are thicker and not flexible at all.
