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?
