Mariano, I'm sorry to see that you haven't received any replies yet. I'm not sure about the ID of this rose, although it does look rather familiar, perhaps because of its similarity with Radiance. But there are obviously many pink HT-type roses. If no one here can help, I suggest that you post the same question and pictures on the main rose forum, and on the Peter Beales rose forum (England). Peter Beales is one of the world's leading rose experts and carries a famous collection of old and "classic" roses. You can find the Peter Beales discussion forum tab on the top bar or their main sales website. Post your query in the subforum "professional advice" - that's where their staff (inc. Paul Zimmerman from Ashdown Roses, btw.) will hopefully be able to help you - they're extremely knowledgeable, and they have successfully identified roses for me in the past. You could also email Ashdown Roses/Paul Zimmerman.

It is a very pretty rose.

Good luck!
Andrea
