Seeking Rose name
 

Hi

I saw a gorgeous rose at one of our city's mansions during the garden tour
today. (Kimberly Crest in Redlands, CA) The grounds-keeper doesn't know what
it is called, but we do know that it has been there a long time....30 yrs??
or longer.

I would say it is a grandiflora bush. The opened rose is apricot in the
center/bud, then the middle petals are light pink, and the outer petals are
a dark pink/fushia. It had a nice scent too.

Any suggestions as to what it might be??

Thanks, Linda

Linda, you might do better going to helpmefind.com and browsing the
lists--or go back and take a photo and post it here, that would help!
One question that might narrow the field--what is its form like?
Typical, high centered hybrid tea form, or floppy like Austins?

Thanks, Linda

Well it sounds gorgeous, anyway! Hope you'll post a photo eventually.

This rose is apricot in the center, then pink and the outer petals are red.
The rose screams pink/red blend with that faint apricot in the middle. I
checked out the "Peace" rose and it isn't that one.

This was probably planted, at least!, 30 yrs ago, so maybe it isn't even
available anymore :-(

THanks Theo...Linda

The 'Peace' rose
is very popular amongst the HT gardens.

On of its many variations looks like that.
