Name That Rose!

Another Mystery Rose

16 years ago

I bought this rose "bush" a few months ago ("bush" because it's about a foot high, lol) - the roses were supposed to be a candy pink - and it's Not Pink. It's a dark mauvey red - here's two photos, top of the page. The petals almost look striped....

It doesn't really matter that it's not candy pink, I have it next to some Peace roses and they will look nice together once this one grows. But still....I'd like to know what I actually got!!!

The red on the fence looks like Dr Huey a rootstock often used for grafted rose. If your rose has rebloomed its not the Dr if not then the original rose you bought was dead and the root stock bloomed instead. It's not that uncommon.
