I found a bouquet at a store here in Oregon. While I know that the cut flower industry features plants that are not usually grown in the US either for the reason of climate or popularity or just because the plants are unknown to North American nurseries, I would like to possibly ID this rose. It is lavendar with white stripes. Very lovely. Little scent. I have never seen anything like it. It was left over from Valentines day. I have taken 5 cuttings to root. I have done this before sucessfully with some of my favorite roses. If you can look at the photos and tell me if you have seen this rose before. I don't think I would be able to look at each of the thousands of roses on this site without going blind and find it's name. Thank you for all of your help ~Desiree

I've not seen anything quite like this rose. Very nice.
I scanned HT/Florist, striped.. and if it's listed there are no photos of it on HMF. Did you ask the florist if they knew? Sometimes they do.
Good Luck

Many of the cut flowers available currently come from either Poulsens, Meilland or Kordes, all European rose producers and growers. You might try a web search for their web sites and browse the photographs, particularly of their florist varieties. Whatever it is, I like it and would love to try growing it. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Hi, I did find the name that was attached to the plastic on the bouquet, "Stranger." I searched and didn't find anything on this site. I am looking for rose wholesale companies in Ecuador. If you come across any information, please contact me, and yes, if I can get any of these to grow, I do want to share. I have not seen anything like this rose in the 25+ years I have been gardening.
Thanks- Desiree

I don't know of any links to any South American wholesale growers. I have run across situations of potted and cut roses being tagged names that there are no references to. I'm also not aware of the South Americans having actually bred nor developed any florist roses. They have tended to simply obtain what's already out there, then use them to plow under the introducers. And, yes, please, should they take, I'd be most interested! Thank you.

After much calling and internet research, I found one site that names the rose only. No pictures. There are some roses I have never heard of on this site too. http://www.agrotropical.andes.com/cut_flowers_roses.htm is the site url. hope to finally find some information to the breeding of this one or perhaps even just the type of rose besides a "florist" rose. Now I am having fun with this one. So far the cuttings are doing great after just 11 days. Wish me luck!

Well it would appear you do have the correct name. On a whim I did a search for rose/stranger and got this link.

I'd be interested in trying to grow this rose as well. Wish I could have found breeder information. The parents would be interesting to see, and of course giving the breeder his/her due.
Good luck with your cuttings.

I asked about this rose on Rosarians Corner and got a response.
It was bred by OLIJ from Holland. I'm unfamilar with this rose house. It is reportedly a good garden rose..that's good news for you.

OK, here is the site of OLIJ's roses with photographs. I hadn't the time to look at all of them, but Stranger isn't listed there.

The information came from an established Hybridizer so I'm confident in the information. Couldn't say why it's not listed. One has to be careful poking around on those sites..the wish list grows too fast. smile

Tell me about it. It is dangerous to just take a walk in my neighborhood. I live in Portland, the city of Roses here in Oregon. I see roses constantly that I know I could just take a cutting and grow some fab roses. My patio is filled with cuttings along with about forty potted roses. =-)) Desiree

Hijacked by roses. Yes, that's the ticket. I suspect that's how I went from 30 roses to nearly 200 in a few years. smile.. gotta love em

He he he, That's the plan. Fortunately, my husband doesn't mind my collection. He is even talking about helping me construct a green house. I hope I hope I hope! We need to actually BUY a home first. That would be too much to move. Hey, my cuttings are doing great!
