ID a Lavender Rose?

9 years ago

I got this rose from, I think, Home Depot 5 or 6 years ago. It did well for two years, then slowly started "growing backwards." A couple years ago, I had my soil tested, and started doing things more organically, (thank you, Paul Zimmerman!!) and it's coming back. Last year and the year before, I only got a couple of blooms from it, but this year it's springing back.Just like I remembered, the fragrance is so intense it's almost overwhelming in a closed room.

I thought I'd ask if anyone might know it's name, since I've long forgotten what it was. I'll post two photos.

Here's a shot of the whole bush, There may not be enough of it yet for you to really see anything. I know I may have to wait another year or two till it gets bigger. When the blooms are fully open, they are about 5" across.

The roses on either side are Double Knockouts that I just can't keep up with. They need deadheading every day, it seems. (Not complaining, just saying) Everything is getting composted and mulched once the daffodils are all done.

I just got Lady X from HD this spring and I think that may be what your rose is too.

Thank you for the reply - I'm happy to have any name that I can look up and try to match. They do look alike, don't they?!
