*Okay, these aren't mine, but the photograph is. I sent this photo to Jackson-Perkins, who identified it. I went out immediately and bought one, but don't have photos of the new blooms yet. This is the most beautiful rose. It's a girly rose, an angel rose, the kind of rose that when I think of "rose pink," this is what my mind gives me.
