this looks much more like St Patrick. Could your rose have been mislabeled or some type of throwback???

It is a Marilyn, except it's a very small bud. Once it starts to really open up the green cast disappears and it looks like this:

I agree that it's a Marilyn but think this photo has just a bit of a green cast overall that accentuates the effect a bit more than one normally sees. There are other Marilyn bud photos in the collection that don't look anything like this, and I think part of it this greenish cast.

Hi,
There is some conflicting information in the "Love" grandiflora description:
"Strong fragrance"
"...bicolored flowers with no fragrance..."
Mine is not fragrant either. Please kindly check.
Thanks,
Nap

It's not unusual for information about fragrance to conflict. This is just such a case. The patent application says no fragrance while the ARS' Modern Roses describes the fragrance as "rose fragrance." Let's hope other growers of 'Love' will comment. In the interim, HMF will note that opinions differ.

Cass, I grew Love for a long time, and continue to smooch pollen from it at Elizabeth Park. I can attest that it has absolutely no scent here in Connecticut.

I've changed the fragrance to "None" and also noted that "Opinions vary" to account for the ARS description. This rose was registered, and supposedly the ARS information parrots the information submitted on behalf of the registrant.

I have two of them and mine are definitely not orange or orange red. They look pretty much like the photo with ID 135305 posted by Celeste Woodbury, maybe a tad more pink than the photo. I wouldn't describe this as "orange". Anyone else finding them not being orange?
Nap.
