this link will be alot of help for you in ID's

I think something is being overlooked in the soil Roses also have DNA bring some of your work home use it for them there old they may be breaking down from age

FYI we are on opposite sides of the world it is soon going to snow here soon and its only middle fall. Your not going to bore me by posting pics so keep em coming tell us a lil more as you can keep in touch with your Italy friend

Well it's certainly not Mme. Driout. I'd go with you on Careless Love, though -- that's really close, as far as I can tell from these photos. I grow both of them.

One easy way to identify Careless Love is the way it occasionally throws one solid color light pink petal into a flower that is otherwise fully striped. Does your plant do that? I don't know of many older striped roses that do that other than Careless Love, so that would make it an easy ID.

THANKS for your reply Kathy. I do also think it must be ´Careless Love´ but it was included in the catalog of a very well known nursery of Argentina, with a 80 decades tradition, as ´Madame Driout´and I could not believe they are selling a plant under an unaccurate name. I will let them know, maybe they can change it in order to offer the correct plant.

THANKS for your time once again and warmest regards from B.A, Mariano.

P.S: the rose grows in a neighboring garden, anyway I will try to check what you have told me in reference to the pink petals fully stripped from the center of the flower.
