A present from my younger son

That's unusual. It's lovely.

How different! I love it.

This a rose ? right? is it scented? it is really different..never have I seen anything like it...my goodness. What is its name?

Wow Bernieh..this one is stunning...

Very pretty :o)

Oh my god...............how lovely is that...........does it have a scent ....whats it called.......

In my favourites....really lovely.

Lovely gift, very different :)

OH it is so beautiful i love it what is the name ?

I would love to have a rose like this...

Yes thanks all - it is a stunner. My son spotted it in a florist shop and thought I'd appreciate it. I know the shop that sells this has only just started stocking these striped roses because the lady who sold it apparently went on and on and on and on (his words!) about how popular these have been and he vaguely remembers her calling it 'grandiflora red and white stripes'!!!! (not sure he's got it right).
No it doesn't have much of a perfume.

LOL...now we will all be on the look out for it for our gardens..lol..thanks Bernieh...and thanks for asking your son... :) Sweet of him to bring his mom a special rose...are you going to hang it upside down and dry it? I would ...lol..

Wow, I didn't think it was real when I saw this, what a little cracker! He's certainly got a good eye your son.

what a fab rose

Thanks Lindak - a week later and it's still going strong just sitting in a vase of water.

That'sgood as some roses after cutting don't lasr very long in a vase of water

Never seen one like that in this neck of the woods! Stunning!!

Bernieh:

The most beautiful rose I've ever seen! Incredible!

Benieh:

What variety is this rose? I never seen this variety before.

Hi Delonix1 I'm afraid I don't know - I'm not a rose person. My son assures me the florist said it's called grandiflora red and white stripes - but I'm waiting for someone to recognise it on GOY. I might have to post it again for the rose growers.

Bernieh:

I'm not a rose-grower either...however, I love the flowers, and this is a beautiful variety.

i so like your rose , beautiful
