    This is a photograph of the sixth, and last, lost label rose I have in the front garden.

    I can honestly say that I'm really impressed with all six and wouldn't hesitate to buy more even if I never find out what their names are. All six are different and have produced lovely blooms. The six cost me under £15 (including postage and package) and I got 10 short stemmed lilies free with them. Now that's what I call a bargain. :-D

    Eileen that is a beautiful rose even if you don't know the name. I'd name it Pretty in Pink. Nice that all of the other roses are different and with the lilies thrown in to boot that is great bargain hunting. :stew1:

    That's a gorgeous pink. And free lilies? Great deal indeed.

    If it is extremely fragrant, then I think you have the Zepherine Dhrouin rose. I have one that was planted the year this house was built ( 1953) and it is just so beautiful. It's really huge & blooms from very early spring, well into november & when it's in full-bloom & I have my side door open, the fragrance fills my sunporch & dining room. Lucky you!

    Oh Eileen I hope it is a Zepherine Dhrouin rose!!
    I have one I'm trying to train to grow up, over the garden gate :p It is a constant bloomer, almost thornless and like DirtyHands said, smells amazing!!!
    I love it not only because it's pink but because it always manages to give me a few blooms on my birthday :p

    It does have a lovely scent so maybe you're right with the name for it DH.
