Hi. I was given this rose as a tiny pot plant in February when it was in flower. I cut it back once the flowers had died and put it in a large pot outside. It's now about 18" high and covered in buds. The flowers are not scented. I think it might be 'Frie Princess'. Does anyone know if it is? G x

Hi Georgie,
After checking my rose bible (Roger Phillips & Martyn Rix ROSES) i think it might be fire princess, the only thing that worries me is the picture i have in the bible shows the leaf slightly paler and slightly rounder, when i first seen the photo i thought it was red ace which i grew for exhibition 15 years ago but i know that does not throw out that many buds but i have been known to be wrong before.
hope you get the right answer good luck
Thanks for taking the trouble, rdm. I dismissed red ace (can't remember why now). I 've got another pic from a different angle if this helps. G x

yep agree its not red ace after seeing the second photo, so your instinct could be right
