I thought this might be Queen Elizabeth but now am not so sure.

Has an upright stiffish habit. Picture is from early spring during pruning.

These are the leaves.

Now the bud.

Early bloom.

A few hours later although different bloom.

Profile of bloom.

The fragrance is probably medium in strength but very nice roseish scent.

There is a small flush of blooms in the spring followed by scattered blooms through the summer and fall. Possibly with more care the blooms would be more prolific.

The bush is 8 to 10 ft tall and looks to get taller if not pruned considerably.

This is a very well armed bush. I call it my Notorious Monster Rose. (from FFIX)

Appreciate your time in helping me name this rose. Thanks!
