Hey dave that is dead ringer
for gloire des rosomanes. Esp.
the bowl shaped petals and the golden center.
The light magenta touch is definitely it.


No, it's definitely not that. This bloom isn't nearly as "flat". I
think that the advanced age of the bloom is throwing you off...

You're right about the color, although this one is a little more 'red"
than that...

According to JD it is occasionally used as
a root stock. What do you think. Is it a sucker
from a dead graft?


It was definitely a one gallon commercial potted plant from Lowe's (I
don't remember the brand, but it was an $8.99 cheapie).
