My next door neighbor has this rose that I’m 99% sure is Double Delight. He doesn’t know as it was there when he bought the house. I’ve taken several cuttings and it roots crazy easy. It’s also growing some nice OP hips I might snag. It opens yellow with pink tips, sometimes is mostly pink then always fades to white. Pretty resilient to cold too.
Can anyone confirm? If I use it in breeding I would want to make sure I have the lineage right.
I grow DD, and my first impression is that the yellow in your pictures is just a little too saturated. Here, at least, the yellow is more muted.
Smell fresh blooms. If it has a heavy, “sticky sweet” scent, it may be DD, though the foliage looks a bit too semi glossy from what I remember and the flowers are a bit yellow upon opening. Perhaps where I’m experienced with it, it’s be? The foliage isn’t dark enough to be Cherry Parfait. If it isn’t strongly scented, perhaps Lim/Twomey’s Love & Peace? 'Love & Peace ™' Rose There was a Hybrid Tea from J&P which was similar. 'Spellbinder' Rose
