I don't know the name of this rose. It was in the garden when we arrived. This was in 1979, so it's an old plant! I think it is a tea rose, with usually one flower per stem. It flowered from May to June and then started flowering again in August.
I've called this rose "salmon". It's not really that colour, but it is to distinguish it from the other old rose, which I've called "pink". I've not quite sure if I've got the photographs for the two roses 100% right! With different stages of flowering, and different light coditions, the two roses overlap colours.
This is rather a spindly plant by now, getting very old, and doesn't produce that many blossoms. However, I have managed to get it to produce new shoots through careful pruning.
