This is a "white" (!) rose I bought several years ago at an outlet such as Home Depot or other "garden center". After several years of producing only one or two blooms a year, it has, this year, produced seven in June and another seven in August! They are an exquisite pink, high bud, with a looong stem on a bush about 4' tall and 2' wide, with disease resistant foliage (okay, I did spritz it once or twice with a fungicide.) of medium green. The fragrance is astoundingly strong and sweet! Can ANYBODY identify this rose??

Wow, some of those pictures do look a lot like my rose..even the picture of the bloom taken after its prime looks very much like mine do after their bloom is a bit past. Is ''Tiffany'' extremely fragrant? Mine is just unbelievable: even the old blooms are still fragrant! I always considered ''Zephirine Doughin'' to be the most fragrant rose of all ( all mine anyway), but this pink puts even that to shame!Thank you...and while this may be the answer, I hope people will keep giving me more ideas as they think of them.

I grew Tiffany for years before losing it this last Winter. It is a very fragrant rose at all stages. It blows too fast to make a good cut rose. I enjoyed it best in the garden.

Sounds more and more like y "mystery rose"! Thank you (It smells good for a long time in a vase even though it doesn't keep looking fresh, I've noticed)

Box stores like HD, Walmart etc are known for selling mis tagged roses. I think it looks like Chicago Peace. |

I've heard that, about box stores, more and more. I now buy almost exclusively from Nancy Lindley at Great lakes Roses.I think Chicago Peace is much fuller than my rose, which has only 25 or so petals. But the petals are yellow at the base like C. Peace. What's with all the partly white blossoms among the photos of Chicago Peace? Is it known for that? Weird!
