16 Feb '09 11:35 am I had this rose growing on my RV space in south Texas. I could not find anyone who knew the variety, so I took this photo. Anyone know what it is? It had unbelievable stems! One measured over 3ft long! It is the most beautiful rose I have ever seen.
22 Feb '09 8:35 am It's a beautiful colour! Sorry that I can't help you - sometimes things like the form, the scent, leaf colour etc. are needed in a rose ID - more so than the flower! Good luck with your search for the name of this beauty!

Check on scent
28 Feb '09 6:36 pm Some of the most powerfully scented roses are also of the most beautiful reds. Others are quite scentless. The slight patterning on the petals could help: is it a change in colour or only of texture? The best reds are both satiny and velvety in texture, but not usually in a 'stripey' way. Mr Lincoln is one possibility. Chrysler Imperial and Papa Meilland are two more. Why don't you do a search on these roses and check what they say about the bush as a whole. That might give you an answer, and also lead you to worthwhile rose sites.
Good luck!
