Can you ID this flower please

Well here I go again admiring this garden when the other day I spotted this near the driveway I thing its very very pretty and would like a name for it so I can find it and learn information about it I have been looking on the net but at the moment still have not found it I would love more of these in my back garden and maybe in the front for every body to see it such a pretty thing it is




Thank you

I think it's one of the heritage roses. Not sure of the name, bit it's gorgeous. Had one growing up here in the tropics years ago but didn't like the weather too much. Died after a couple of years

I believe it could be a Ferdinand Pichard rose

Agree about the Variegated Rose by the look of the background foliage

similar to a Variegated Camellia

... but I can't see any dark green leaves

I had a look at your links Alan and that is what I would say it is I will do some more reading on it now I have a name or very close to it. I could not get better photos of it as it was in a hard spot to get to as you can see she is looking down and is pretty low to ground and just not in a good place at all. I am glad I got this photo though as its the only flower on the plant and it is almost dead now I really would love to get some more of these where I can try and grow them to see them too pretty to be where it is now. thanks peeps

Looks "rosey" to me, are the leaves soft?
