    Can anyone ID this rose for us please?
    It was found in a garden in Hornsea in the 1930s and has been propagated by cuttings since then. It's a vigorous climber, which does very well on neglect, has pink buds and flowers which open pink but fade to white. rose1.jpg

    It's New Dawn, I've spent years looking at GCs, and at online pics to see if I could ID it for the people who gave us our original cutting and after posting on here I had one last look and found it at once...[​IMG] No idea why it's taken so long.

    Does it repeat flower, AkkaN? It could be 'New Dawn' but it also looks like an old (and, sadly, as yet nameless) rambler which is growing in the garden next door to me, which could be roughly the same vintage. It is very easy to strike from cuttings - which is how it ended up in the garden in the first place - but it has only one flush of flowers. They don't have much smell at all, whereas 'New Dawn' is scented. Is your rose smelly?

    I wouldn't recommend it for the scent as you can only smell it if you stick your nose in it (unlike a white rambler/climber down in the centre of the village which you can smell from across the street, I'm trying to find out what that one is too, so I can get one for us!) and it's growing in full sun so should have plenty of opportunity to waft scent across the garden, but now you ask I honestly can't remember about the flowering. I think it flowers until about October so presumably it is repeat flowering, as it's just started flowering about a week ago. I'll pay more attention to it this year.
