How many petals does it have? Do the blooms fully open or stay as they are in the picture.
How high and tall is the plant now? Do the flowers have good resistance to the rain? Or do they sulk and look terribly battered after the rain? Does it have strong upright stems?

Do the blooms open in full to reveal the sepals? Does it stay close as it is in the picture?
What color the sepals are?

Looking at picture of the entire plant, from the way the whole plant is growing it looks like it wants to grow horizontal as a ground cover rose and seems to have an arching habit. It does look like it is an old type rose. It is not Floribunda from the way the flowers are hung on the stems - I think Floribunda roses have flowers in clusters - each stem carry more than one flower. Are the leaves in fives or Seven? It certainly looks very healthy with and strong growing habit. Have you ever had to treat it for any disease? Do you prune it? If so ho often and when? Is it slow or fast growing?

Some sort of Hybrid rose: Hybrid Tea? Hybrid Musk?

I have quite few roses I would love to know what they are? So I have been paying attention to such features. So far all the results are guess. I am beginning to think about getting a DNA report to establish what and who they are. But the thought of the cost and not knowing who to to go to I carry on with guessing game.

I especially have this lovely Canary yellow Hybrid Tea rose flowering its socks out even now in January 2014. It came with the house when we moved years ago. I am sure the mild winter has got to do with it this year - between 3 and 9 degrees Celsius day and night with few frost night. But compared to the other 30 odd roses that are full of buds and but can't get to flower in full because of the cold weather this rose is in full bloom.
