Good website for rose identification

I used to have a great web site on my favorites list for rose identification and brief description, but I lost it. Looking for a recommended site.

Also would like a suggestion for a good hybrid tea, very light pink or pinkish white, with a beautiful, good for cutting flower. Fragrance would, of course, be a plus.

Thanks

RB

Jeri has already given you the best place to look up roses so I'll answer your second question.

Moonstone is a lovely light pink to white HT with beautiful form and some fragrance. I don't know how it is for cutting but since it's an excellent show rose it probably lasts pretty well.

I have Falling in Love which is a lovely pale pink and white with fragrance but it is a little disease prone and VERY thorny.

Frederic Mistral is a light pink with a gorgeous fragrance, and it lasts a long time in bouquets. It's a favorite of mine. Diane

I would also look at the new 'Francis Meilland' 'Francis' is supposed to be very fragrant. 'Moonstone' has very little fragrance, at least mine have very little fragrance.
