This is Ark’s unidentified rose
This is a variety called ‘Maiden’s Blush’.
Ark(enaton) of A Tale Unfolds posted an attractive rose picture and confessed that he didn’t know the variety. This comment string ensued:
colonialist says:
You petunia to the occasion just wouldn’t work, would it?
As for the variety, ‘maidenly blush’ would do pretty well.
Arkenaten says:
I shall not rise to the p(r)une
Maidenly Blush? Is it? You are the gardener and judge, so I shall bow to your expertise in such matters.
colonialist says:
*hastily* Whoah! I just invented it! (Wouldn’t it be funny if it actually is that or something like!)
Arkenaten says:
Well, hang around, you might get the chance to name a rose some day and Maiden’s Blush sounds pretty neat to my un- botanical mind.
I got curious and looked it up. The Maiden’s Blush variety does exist, and looks pretty (haha) similar. This rose seems to have all sorts of variations in tightness and shape of petals, so it probably is the same kind. Between the two of us (with Ark’s variation from ‘maidenly’ to ‘maiden’s’) we nailed it! I don’t think it was lurking in my memory. It just seemed to be an appropriate name. One of those synchronicity-type things.
You have me all confused. Again!

What do you know of maiden’s blushes, Col? You sound like quite an expert. 😀

In my day, even a good compliment would evince one. These days they aren’t even forthcoming from lurid language, though I have seen them emerge in pairs from those who find their ‘original’ outfits for a wedding are duplicated!

Just got hold of Ems, as she is responsible for planting all the roses. My pic is of a Roberto Capucci. The one I thought this was turns out to be called a Double Delight.

Roberto probably developed it from a Maiden’s Blush — they have been around for some time.
