I think this is a 'Cajun Sunrise' .. not sure any help with the ID would be appreciated
The most striking thing about Cajun Sunrise is its magnificent color. True to its name, this is the rose that will catch your eye upon entering the garden in the early morning, as the blooms really do reflect the colors of a beautiful sunrise. Cajun Sunrise is categorized by the American Rose Society as a pink blend (pb), which hardly does justice to the luscious blend of pink, yellow and creamy white it presents.
The color has been compared to that of the classic hybrid tea, Peace, with a generous blush of pink on the edges of the petals and a rich yellow at the base, fading to white. It is, however, a much better rose for exhibition than Peace. It is easy to grow, and re-blooms on a regular basis throughout the growing season, making it a great all-around garden rose. Furthermore, these roses have a vase life of four to five days, which makes them perfect for cutting for the home.
Its form is absolutely beautiful, presenting those classic, high centered, spiral blooms that exhibitors adore. The blooms, which generally have between 26 and 40 petals, are full of substance and can grow to as large as 4 or 5 inches across in cool weather. However, they tend to be smaller in the heat. The richly blended blooms, which are somewhat reminiscent of rainbow sherbet, are presented on strong, straight stems, and are clothed in a plentiful array of slightly glossy, deep green foliage.
The growth habit of the plant is medium-tall, vigorous and upright, and it averages a height of four to five feet. Although it only has a very mild fragrance, Cajun Sunrise has many other wonderful attributes. For instance, it offers better than average disease resistance, which is a big plus in most gardens; and it is also relatively shade tolerant. I have moved one of my four bushes into an area that only gets about 3 hours of sun a day, and it is flourishing as much as the plants in full sun.

The immensity of the Great Wall is something that has to be seen to be believed. I don't know if this shot can do it justice, but if you zoom in, you can see how this goes off into the infinite mountains of China.
