Edmund's used to say this descended from 'Golden Wave'. Maybe? I wouldnt doubt it has Pink Parfait in it somewhere, like most Fryer roses of that era. The foliage and blooms seem to indicate both ideas are plausible.

The flower can also be rich deep-pink leaning towards salmon-pink.

How do you pronounce the name of this rose? Does this rose do well in hot climates which has been our climate the last two years here in Oklahoma City!

I believe it's pronounced Ma-ree-ka but I'm not positive.
I'm a zone cooler but it does very well in the heat of my summer. We can go into the low 100s some days and this rose does not seem to fry or dry up. The petals are quite substantial.

It is a Dutch name. The "ij" in Marijke sounds almost like the "Ei" in the German Eisen (for Iron).
"ke" at the end of the name means little... so Little Marij (from Maria) Almost 18.000 girls and woman carry that first name in the Netherlands.
The double "oo" in Koopman almost sounds like the "oe" in Joe. And "man" sounds like the German "Mann" in the town Mannheim.
