The roses pictured at
http://peculiar.wcw.net/help-with-roses/ were grown from a plant that my wife bought in Oregon in 1987. No one is certain any more what this variety was called except to say that it's Silver something royal sounding. Queen, Princess, Duchess, Etc.

The flowers are about two to three inches across with a light pink shade that becomes nearly white / silvery looking in the center.

Last fall I took cuttings from the bush and was able to get several plantings to take root and begin to grow. Almost all of them have survived the Arkansas winter and are now thriving. Some of them are looking like they will be downright bushy by this time next year. None of them show any sign of producing flowers but the bush the cuttings were taken from has this year produced flowers for the first time in several years.
