Once again I have another Lidl bought rose that doesn't appear to be what the box said it was. It was supposed to be a Diamond Jubilee, but it's a lovely pink color.
It's a small plant with very few thorns and bright green stems. The flower bud was a bright pink and once it bloomed it mellowed to a softer pink, but still much brighter underneath. Very little fragrance, certainly not like my Queen of England roses, although similar in color. If anyone wants a crack at it, that'd be great. (and thanks for naming my Mr. Lincoln!)

Pinks are tough, it reminds me of Bewitched.

This photo doesn't resemble Bewitched at all, look at Queen Elizabeth.

Well, I have a Queen Elizabeth (or so I think I do.... Lidl rose also...) and it's been extremely fragrant this season. This one isn't so much, although it is a very similar color. They are 2 different plants.... could one be fragrant and not the other? (and what are the little color flecks on the edges of the flower? do they indicate disease or are they natural pigment changes?)

I would do an advanced search for medium pink, hybrid tea... and see what you come up with.
Be prepared for a long search. smile This is probably a common pink so only look at roses with pictures. If HT doesn't produce results, then look at Grandiflora.
The pink spots are likely Botryis and it should clear on its own. Clean your pruners with bleach after clipping these blooms, or any like them and put them in the trash.
