Because your rose was part of a mis labeled batch of rooted cuttings. I have one, too. It is highly likely the rose you have is Ping Dong Yue Ji. I know for certain mine is as I have grown Ping Dong Yue Ji for a number of years and I have used it in breeding quite a bit.

Thank you for this information. It may be good for breeding but as a cut flower or garden plant it is basically useless. I just took a photo of the bush and will try to post it. Thanks.

Perhaps. I believe Isabella Ducrot is the same rose as Bassoues Tea, which I grow. I wanted Isabella to compare them. Bassoues Tea has extremely fragile, thin, papery petals which fry in direct sun. I live in Santa Maria, CA where it is NOT "hot". Bassoues' flowers are gorgeous in over cast days. If there is any direct sun, the petals fry. Ping Dong Yue Ji's petals don't burn in the sun here. Ping Dong has a tremendous scent. Bassoues has none. You are making these judgements on an immature plant, but that is your right. Ping Dong does grow into a more upright plant and is quite beautiful. Not if you were expecting the sunset shades of Ducrot or Bassoues, but its flowers are significantly more durable.
