I have a other mystery rose. This one is pink with yellow at the inner(lower) part of the petals. From a distance, the rose looks like it is a salmon color.

Perhaps Tropicana, Folklore or Voodoo?

the black spots on the leaves comes from bacteria caused by moisture, there are chemical sprays for this or like I do use 1/4 cup of vinager and 1 tablespoon dawn dish soap. spray after watering, a moist day or rain

Thanks for the info. Do you add any water to the mixture? I live in a very humid area. All my roses bushes get black spots on the leaves.

For blackspot I use "Serenade" here on my roses in - zone6b/NYC. It is recomended for Organic gardeners and works just fine (not perfect but OK) . Hard to find in the garden centers , but there are so many kids in my yard I don't want to use anything that is a poison at all. -- DB

You can also substitute baking soda for the vinegar but there is a loss of the acid nutrient that roses can use, also another hint I spread my banana peels on the ground under the bush for the potassium enrichment.

The photo shows this as almost Orange. Is this correct or is your description
closer to what it is?

I was told that the name of this rose is Mrs Armstrong. However I am unable to find any information on it

Do you have a picture or a description of your rose? It is difficult to tell without any refeence. There are roses called Charlotte Armstrong and Daina Armstrong. It could be possibly one of these.

No, your bush is neither Charlotte nor Diana Armstrong. I am afraid it is something else.

This picture looks like Bewitched to me, or perhaps Queen Elizabeth. It looks very happy.

Thanks for the input. It could be a Queen Elizabeth. It has 25 petals and the leaves are prone to black spots. It loses most of the leaves during the summer, but it does a nice recovery and blooms again. It also has a wonderful fragrance.

You mentioned fragrance, which might be a clue. My QE is over 20 years old and has never had a decent fragrance. Although the medium pink color in your photo is consistent with QE, your flowers look fuller than my QE. Blooms on my QE open in a shallow cup shape to reveal the stamens, and the color does not fade or change much even in the heat.
