Tropical Paradise rose -- what is it really?
I mentioned earlier about Tropical Paradise rose, and Shiva's post about
looking it up in Helpmefindroses got me to thinking.... Honestly, the tag on it says "Tropical Paradise" (I dug the tag out of the mulch, cleaned it off, & remounted it higher on the rose where I could actually see it.) On the reverse is a logo I don't recognize, but it looks like Q R to me. I bought the rose at Walmart 2 or 3 years ago. Admittedly, it's probably not worth the effort to find out what it really is, but that is no longer the point!!!! (If you get my drift). When I googled for Tropical Paradise, the only rose references I turned up were a photo on some guy's website where I could only see more photos if I were a paid subscriber (? remember, we're talking about roses here, folks!) and a listing at Helpmefindroses that described it as "Orange & orange blend blooms. Strong fragrance. 15 to 25 petals. Average diameter 4¾". Double, large bloom form. Repeats its bloom again later in the season" which tells me only that "my" Tropical Paradise is not the "real" thing -- accurate, but not really helpful. If anyone can help me with my ID, I have two photos I can send (I really need to find a website to post photos on..... sigh). Thanks, Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC |

Tropical Paradise rose -- what is it really?
I just uploaded the images Ann. Heres the link http://home.everestkc.net/tasir/imag...e/IMG_0011.JPG http://home.everestkc.net/tasir/imag...e/IMG_0010.JPG The color is more a salmon. It sure doesn't look like tropical paradise. Lets see if anyone else has any ideas. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "Anne Lurie" wrote in message . com...

Thanks, Theo!
If I'd known these photos were going to go to "prime time," I'd have tried to take better pictures! Thanks again for any ID help anyone here can give me.
