I was incredibly taken with the number of perfect blooms and perfect foliage on this plant. I don't believe they spray at this garden, because most of the roses in the ground are defoliated to some extent on their lower leaves, and don't push out flowers the way I would expect if they were heavily fertilized. However this unlabeled pink container rose was perfect! It's possible it gets more care, being part of a container display.

Anyway, what do you think this is? My first thought was Madame Lombard, but I have never seen it in person so it's hard for me to judge. It's a very bright "neutral" pink, not quite hot, not quite shell. I love the way the blooms were arranged on the bush, unlike the long thick canes found on HTs, but I have never seen such a gorgeous shrub before.

I'm reminded more of 'Bon Silene' -- but I'm tentative about that, because it has been years since we've grown her.

I sometimes take mine for granted because of common they are, but they really are a healthy beautiful rose. Either way, it looks like you made a good purchase.

brittie - that's interesting because here all I find are the hot pink ones. I've never seen a red one here while shopping. Walmart, Earl May, Costco, Menards, Home Depot, Lowes... they're all the pink ones. Even my local nursery I shop at only carried hot pink, the single and double bloom KOs. Maybe it's location based.
