Take a look at Rainbow's End on hmf, looks like it. Sure is a pretty rose.

Nope... it's not Rainbow's End. This rose has no red in it at all -- shade of yellow, pink, & peach -- even though it sits in full afternoon sun [1PM-6PM]. Also doesn't get black spot -- seems resistent.

Rainbow's End has much more compact flowers. The tips of the petals end up being pointy, mine stays rounded. RE also ages to red... as you can see from the aged flowers on mine, this one ages to a very light yellow.

Good try, though. They seem very similar.

stlawrence_river - I clicked on your link but I couldn't find one called Orange Blossom Special.

I'd love to know what it is also. Looks like something I'd like to have.

Sure looks like Orange Blossom Special.... unfortunate that the name is made up, not a recognized type.

Even more interesting is that upon moving the rose to protect it from the heat.... it virtually i.d'd itself... the sun it was getting was western, now it's getting eastern sun... the blooms have changed as a result.... it is Autumn Splendor. And it likes eastern sun far better than western.

Thanks for the link. It does look exactly like the picture of Orange Blossom Special. I have Autumn Splendor and I would have never guessed that, but I'm glad you figured it out.
