This rose has been in my garden for years, and I'd love to know it's name. It’s a shrub rose, repeat flowering. Early flowers are a pale cream in the centre turning white, with deep pink edges.

    Oh, I see.  How strange ?  I'll be away from my computer for the next few days, but I'll try on another occasion. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks Dove - I'll have a browse. I noticed elsewhere on the forum that you suggested using a link to a photo sharing site. If I don't find it with your link above, I'll come back with a link to my SmugMug account.  Many thanks!

    Sorry, I've had no luck browsing the link. This is a link to 5 shots of the rose.

    The closest I can find is this one, but mine doesn't curl like this.

    That is so pretty but I don't recognise it ........ I'd love to know what it is too.

    Is it a rambler type or what ...... how does it grow, tall, short etc?

    It's just a shrub/bush rose. I prune it hard each year, and it grows to around 4.5ft. I suspect that it might forever remain unknown! 

    Thanks for your interest - it's appreciated.

    If you can't ID it maybe contacting Classic Roses website with a photo might be an idea ...
