Thanks, but I don't think it's Belinda's Dream. That one has 45-100 petals, according to Help Me Find. The bloom looks like it has alot more petals than mine, which has 32 on average. My petals are really large, too, by the way. The blossom I have on my desk right now has outer petals that are about 2.5" across. Mine does re-bloom in flushes, I forgot to say earlier. And when I estimated the bloom size, I was a little short - more like 4.5" across when I measured. So far, I'm leaning toward Barbara Bush, which was definitely available from J&P in 2005. It looks alot like those photos. I'm not sure, though!

Do you think it might be 'Hannah Gordon'? Here is a link that might be useful: HMF link to 'Hannah Gordon' info

Both pictures remind me of certain roses but I am in no way an authority on identifying roses. the first looks like one of the Peace roses and the pink looks a lot like New Dawn. Valerie

stephanj - yup, DIY projects will certainly test a marriage! ;) Another decision change here: since those two upper cabs over micro/fridge are on the opposite side of the kitchen and separate from my planned white cabs by the sink/window, I think I'm going to have those stained, too. That way, if I decide to do a full white on that accent wall, the stained cabinets may provide some nice contrast...just more thinking out loud. Re: BS, thankfully, we'd be adding only 12 sq ft by extending it to the top. Does that still qualify it as giant? :) Maybe the space just looks larger in the photo. I did my nerd thing last night, actually. :) Know what? It's a necessary step to take, and I promise it'll make you feel much less overwhelmed -- I know I do. Are you getting new cabinets or just reorganizing where things will go? If the former, here's another super, super helpful thread just on the topic of drawers. Scroll down about halfway, til you get to: This was such an eye opener for me, as up to now, I was applying vertical storage concepts only to pizza pans and cookie sheets. I was up and down out of my chair all night, measuring all my glass baking pans, casseroles, etc. Now I have to go weigh items (that I plan on storing in the same drawer) to see if I'll need to upgrade the drawer hardware -- knowing me, I will, just to be on the safe side. And absolutely LOVING this: Can you smell another DIY around the corner?! Because of the current configuration of my island and the way the downdraft ducting and electrical is set up down there, I'm going to end up with a (get this!) space in the left/front that measures 30" high x 24 wide x 12" deep. Goofy/Wasted space (I think) to put a stack of drawers there (each one would have, what, about 10" front-to-back length of usable space?). I wanna hang one of these across the top of the space (so, sitting just under the granite top), and hang my everyday skilles, pots, etc. off here. I wonder if these hooks are on a sliding rail: how cool would THAT be, to accommodate pans/pots of varying heights?!
