I traded for several cuttings last spring, and the trader sent them with the names written on paper. The names all smudged while in transit, so it was a grab bag of sorts. Due to an unfortunate series of events, I lost the trader's contact info. Here's a pic:

The lighter portions of the petals are actually a bit lighter than this pic shows, but the overall color & the contrast between darker & lighter portions is pretty accurate. Blooms are roughly 2.5"-3" across. The foliage is a lighter-green matte. There is a moderate to strong rose fragrance (at least to my nose). I can't really tell much about growth habit as of yet because it is still quite small, but it seems that its going to have long arching canes. Any suggestions? Or any more information that I could provide that might narrow it down more?
