Name That Rose!

Red Rose needs ID

12 years ago

This is a rose I bought at a local nursery when I first became interested in roses about 4 years ago. It didn't have a tag when I purchased it, and thought maybe someone would have an idea of what it may be. At the time I just thought it was pretty, but now I am more curious what it truely might be.

The petals are very wax-like and the blooms last quite a long time (close to a week). They also age to a deeper red, and a green eye forms on maybe 1 of 10 blooms.

Looks a little like my Crimson Bouquet.

Thanks seil...The petals on mine seem to look a little thicker than Crimson Bouquet looks. The petals on this rose are more like the thickness of a tulip petal than a rose petal (if that makes any sense?) They're not delicate at all to the touch, almost stiff. It's very odd compared to my other roses (but I promise you it is a rose!). In 4 years it has only grown to be about 3 ft tall, although it was transplanted once during that time. Also, the petals are always ruffled. I would love to figure out what it is so I can get another one....
