2 Mystery roses

I posted this on the Antique Forum and then saw this forum so I'll put it here too.

First rose (2nd 3 pictures) was supposed to be Archduke Charles (got it at Home Depot), but doesn't look like the picture on the tag. Starts to bloom early and almost non-stop. Very nice fragrance. Sometimes center is more pink. Is it Cramoisi Superieur? Hard to tell, so many photos and descriptions I run across seem to be different from each other!

Second rose (1st 3 pictures) was supposed to be Baron Girod d'Lain from Chamblee's. Never developed the white edges and Chamblee's very cheerfully replaced it with another rose of my choice (they didn't carry the Baron anymore). Has good bloom in the Spring and Fall but not much inbetween. Very good fragrance. Foliage is a lighter green than most of my other roses. Is it Eugene Furst?

Here is a link that might be useful: mystery roses
