MRS FAQs Post: August 24, 2005

Kay Buffum, August 24, 2005 To MRS Members: Can you identify this rose? Supposedly it is Marchesa Boccella. It is more a fairly deep rose shade. My camera does not give a true color in its photos. Thanks for your help

8/29/05 Neither the flower nor the foliage of this mystery rose looks like Marchesa Boccella. It looks more modern. Maybe a hybrid tea? Which means identifying it would require a lot more detailed info about it than a photo. (hardiness zone where growing, scent, disease/insect resistance, bloom time, etc) Old roses are easier for me to identify since I am more familiar with them. http://www.roseinfo.com/boccella.html and http://www.rose-roses.com/rosepages/polyanthas/JacquesCartier.html Susan MRS member Wendy White's sister
