They gave you a mislabel. They also sell Easy Does It, which is what your two photos are of.

I don't think it's Easy Does It. I was also at a SoCal Home Depot when they were selling out last years plants and saw the same color blooms on all the plants they had labelled with that name, which was about 10 of them. All of them had dark orange blooms, a little darker than what this photo shows. And I recall thinking at the time that it was weird to call that rose by any name containing the word "red." I did not buy one of them. Too weird for me, even. But if it had actually been Easy Does It, I would have likely recognized it as a plant I do grow.

Eevrything about it is Easy Does It. Wholesale nurseries, especially the ones that deliver to Home Depot, are notorious for their lack of appropriate labeling practices. Also, please be aware of differences of where something is grown and shipped from and each of our own gardens. Despite all of this, the foliage and peduncles shown are dead maches.

Sorry if the name is inaccurate. I am just learning about roses and do not know enough about them yet to question the accuracy of the name.
Being a "Beginner" rose grower, I can only go by the name on the plant when I purchase it. The plant was (and still is) labeled "Intrepid Red" when I bought it.

I'm not sure of the origin. It was a plant that I purchased at Home Depot. I have added a picture to my original post.

Isn't this one of the striped Christensen floribundas? Looks like 'Claude Monet' to me.

It's not Claude Monet or any of the other 85 striped roses I grow, which list includes most of the Christensen striped roses. Blooms are smaller than Claude Monet (a hybrid tea) and have more petals. Also, the background color is apricot, which is unusual for a striper. Claude Monet's background color is yellow. It is a floribunda, I think. I believe it was marketed (again by Home Depot) under the name "Swirling Orange" a few years ago. The plant has very few thorns, and only near the bases of the canes. The flowering stems are free of thorns.

Same bloom as shown in the other 4 photos after it had opened fully. Does this look familiar to anyone?

I grow it, and so do HMF members Mike Gleason, Beth's Northern CA Rose Garden and JMile. We've all been looking for more info on it for some time now, to no avail. Home Depot says they get their roses from MEA Nurseries in Lindale, Texas, but MEA Nurseries reps have said "not mine" to us. It gets sold with other Jim Coiner roses at Home Depot, so we contacted him too, and he also disclaimed it. If anyone here can help figure this one out, it would be appreciated. It is a great little rose and not like any other striped rose in my collection.

Thank you for sharing your research with us. Hopefully someone in the HMF community can shed some light on this.

Let's start with the basics. One cannot even tell what class a rose belongs to just from a photo of the bloom. In my experience the striping which can be very strong when the blooms is freshly open, fades to the softer look of this photo.
It helps to see foliage, thorns, and other details of the rose.
