The roses pictured at

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.


Here's a list of roses named "silver something".

Looking at the "royal sounding" names
I would have to guess that the
hybrid perpetual Silver Queen seems the best fit but there is only one
photo there and your pictures are a bit grainy and dark. Anyway
glad
your cuttings made it. Give them time and I'm sure they will bloom
too.


Thanks, That does look like the right one.
