Hiyas,

I'm seeking a name of a Rose:
'Rosa' Queen .... ?
It's an old fashioned looking pink rose and
was featured on a tv gardening program in
the last few days.
Possibly, the program is ABC 'Gardening Australia',
I have been trying to search the site, but the link
seems to be down.

Please would anyone have any ideas? TIA

It's not 'Queen Elizabeth' you're looking for, is it? 'QE' is not an Old
Fashioned rose (ie. doesn't belong to the specific variety of Old
Fashioned Roses), but is an older one that you don't see so much any
more. It's a tallish bush, has large, loose-petalled flowers in a
beautiful clear pink and can also be found in a clear red (almost
vermilion).

Here's a nice pic of the bloom:

This seems to be the rose I was looking for:

Rosa 'Pierre de Ronsard'
(aka: Eden Climber)

What a beautiful rose, not sure why I thought 'Queen'
was part of it's title but apparently, 'Pierre de Ronsard'
created this rose for Queen Mary of Scots.
