The first one could be Queen Josephine.
The second one (the one with the 40 cm leaves) might be Carnival when mature. The other one is probably Wide Brim.

Nice pictures!

I agree with planwerk, that first one looks like Queen Josephine. The one in the back in the second pic could possibly be Robert Frost. The leaves on that one are very large, much larger than my Carnival.

I agree with Planwerk & Linda P on the ID for the 1st one. Queen Josephine was what I thought when I saw it.

Yes, Queen Josephine for the first and the second one looks a lot like my Mildred Seaver. It's to rugrose for Wide Brim in my opinion.

Second pic, behind undulata looks like one of the fragrant ones: Summer Fragrance, Fragrant Dream, or Miss Saigon. Be sure to sniff those flowers.
