| Before I really got into roses, I bought this awesome rose at Costco. Shoved it in the ground. Tossed out the container (with the name on it) and forgot about it. In the interim, this little shrub has turned out to be such a gem...! Thanks to this shrub, I've gained the confidence to grow since have planted 10 or so more.
I'm guessing that he is Oktoberfest but I could totally be wrong. Description:
I've labeled the mystery rose as an Oktoberfest but that's just a guess. If you click on the second page of photos, you'll see more photos of him. His colors really lightened up in the intense heat. As I was looking at my photos, I realized that I mislabeled Scentimental as Scentsational in one of the photos-- my apologies. Thank you in advance for your help with this! You have no idea how excited/hopeful I am that someone on here can identify my John Doe for me! Can't figure out how to post photos (read & reread the instructions) so I apologize for the extra work:

| Sometimes rose colors change with the temperature and climate. Your Mister Lincoln looks very bright/vivid. I'll admit, I'm an amateur rose grower, but check out Colorific. You also said "little shrub." Is the plant a miniature bush? If so, it could be Hot Tamale. Those are my guesses. |

| No, it's definitely not a miniature bush. I meant little in fullness. Granted, it is only two years old so it still have some filling out to do but I am 99.99% sure it's not a miniature bush (considering how big those blooms are). Thanks so much for your guess! Also appreciate the kind words about my Mister Lincoln. He is super bright, especially paired next to Oklahoma. Will be sure to check out Colorific! Again, thanks for helping me on my quest to identify my John Doe! |

| You wouldn't believe this. I was just browsing through the roses on sale on a website, and I think I found your mystery rose! Perfect Moment. |
