| I hope you can help me identify this rose. I have lost the tag and can�t match it up with any orders I remember placing. I buy my roses mostly from Roses Unlimited and Rogue Valley.
https://picasaweb.google.com/susanvhagen/MysteryRose?authuser=0&feat=d irectlink The bush is about 3 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide after about 2 years in the ground. I have two others that are very similar in color. Marianne is a much larger bush and the one I believe is Floral Fairytale has clusters of smaller flowers rather than these large single ones. I have Lion�s Fairytale too but think it is this one with much paler flowers.
In the last few years I have ordered several Kordes roses and several Paul Barden ones but just can�t match this up with any photos or descriptions. Do you have thoughts about what this is? Thank you very much. Susan Hagen |

| Uh...maybe, maybe Lion's Fairy Tale. Not quite sure, would be nice to see closer-up photos. Here's mine. Newly opening, can be ivory-apricotty: New foliage bronze, old foliage deep, dark green, glossy! Fully mature bloom, quite white. Note distinctive point at middle of petal tips. |

| Thanks Hoovb. With your help and with the help of Pat at Roses Unlimited I've got it figured out. My mystery rose is the Lion's Fairy Tale and the whiter one is Margaret Merrill. RU had the wrong photo of LFT on their site but she emailed me one that looks just like mine as it's first opening. Mine has the pointed petals you described. It opens apricoty, turns a lovely peachy pink, then fades to white. Thanks for you help and photos. They're lovely. Susan |
