Only a flower picture to ID with? It is hard to do

I see often people posting pictures of just the flower and asking for an identification for the rose. That is really difficult to do sometimes. Sometimes the rose is unique enough to be able to identify with just the flower. It seems like the more modern the rose the more similar the flowers are to other roses.
Things that may help with identification can include pictures of the leaves, canes, thorns, the receptacle (the backside of the flower which could become the hip), also if it is a once blooming rose, possibly the age of the plant. Even with this additional information, it may still be hard to get an identification.
 In hopes to illustrate my point, I'm going to post pictures of three different roses below and would like to have you comment on what the identities are. I will post the identities of the roses after this post has been up for roughly 24 hours.

Come back tomorrow to see what they are! In the meantime, check out my other links:
