A Rose is a Rose…

… is a rose.
That being said, does anyone know what type of rose this is? LOL!
Ilva of Lucullian Delights posted a photo of a beautiful rose, which she called Queen of Denmark. It reminded me of the photo of this rose, which I’d taken sometime ago, I’m curious to know whether the rose here is similar to Ilva’s.
So what’s the name of this rose? Is it a Queen of Denmark rose? Anyone know?

What wonderful pictures! I like the bright green background too!
At first it looked like any normal rose and then on the 2nd picture..it was like..wow..now that is a big one, and so beautiful too. Happy week …ah, but weekend’s very near
Beautiful photos Paz! I really like the first one, that would be a beautiful postcard.
Speaking of postcards, I used one of yours the other day. They are so nice!
I don’t know the name of it, I’ll mention something to Dad and see if he knows.
I don’t know this rose but, oh, what an ecstacy of roseness it is…. mmmmmmmmmmm!
I’m so sorry that I cannot help you with the name but I adore the photos! I bet it smells divine!
Some great photography with these shots!
Paz, you got a point there but your rose is certainly more rose than other!
What a flower and what a photo.
Magnificent!
Wow Paz! I think you must be a painter at heart, because you have used the rule of “complements”. When you place one object on a background of its complement or opposite color on the color wheel, it makes the object “pop”. Red and green are complements, and you have certainly got a brilliant green background for the rose – and it POPS, POPS, POPS!!!! Gorgeous once again! I LOVE your photos.
Be brave today, and remember the good times you had with Cadeau.
Big hugs XXXX
I don’t know but it is very pretty!
Make this into one of your postcards. It’s lovely!
Yes – the pink and bright green compliment each other naturally and beautifully! What striking shots of a perfect rose!
I don’t know the name, but sure it is beautiful.
I’m sorry to say not any good on roses, I adore them just the same – this one is truly a stunner!! And in pink! I hope it came with a scent to match?
I can smell its fragrance from here. Lovely color, both the flower and the velvety green background.
Thank you, everyone!
Paz

This is an old classic rose of the Alba roses
