Default Rose identification needed

Hello all from a lurker )

I'm hoping that someone can help me identify a Rose.

I know this can be a difficult task but if anyone would care to have a

stab, I have
uploaded some images of them. They are he

and

... even though the colour looks slightly different in this image

(different lighting
conditions), this is the same Rose in a bunch taken a day earlier:

Any help would be very much welcomed.

Hi;

First off, I'm afraid I can't identify your rose because it looks like a
florist's rose rather than a garden variety. Florists roses are grown under
glass (or plastic) mainly in Holland. They are rarely available as plants
in the UK. Your local florist may have a brochure or chart of roses if you
want to order them as cut flowers. If you like the colour, do a Google
search on Fry's, Kordes, Harkness, Dicksons and other rose breeders, ask
for their free brochures and identify a likey-look from there.
