This rose is apparently mislabelled as Rosa x centifolia, it lacks the moss of Rosa x centifolia “Simplex”/La Louise if that one has it but they have some similarities yet it lacks reddish thorns, but it’s standing a little shady. Or even rosa gallica or some root base? The flower was photographed with flash, the colour is a tiny bit less intense in vivo. I thought about r. rugosa var. rubra but it lacks the bushiness (2m high) and had no hips and it grows offshoots too.
May y’all help me in the identification of this rose.

The foliage makes it look a bit like one of the Rugosa roses.

Thank you, after some reconsideration i think it’s a Rugosa too, the ofshoots we’re probably cut of in time.

Some sources say Lady of Shalott is hardy to zone 4. Others say it's only to zone 5. I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried growing it in colder regions.

I'd say that reports of her hardiness are greatly exaggerated. Here in Zone 5b, an average winter will kill back 'Lady of Shalott' almost to the ground. That said, it *will* rally and produce blooms.

Just cut my first blooms from Sweet Chariot which was planted in the ground spring 2023. Very fragrant and gorgeous cerise color. As recommended I need to fertilize. Also this plant is in partial shade unfortunately. Will see how it progress es this year.

The flowers on this plant are nothing short of amazing. They stay on the plant for weeks; they stay in a vase for weeks. I have a fall-planted bush purchased from a local nursery that has been blooming since I planted it (it is now December); last night we had winds of 30-40mph, and the blooms are still intact when everything else was denuded.

The rose grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, according to the patent.

I've seen one in Los Angeles that grew to the top of a two and a half story house
