I found a bouquet at a store here in Oregon. While I know that the cut flower industry features plants that are not usually grown in the US either for the reason of climate or popularity or just because the plants are unknown to North American nurseries, I would like to possibly ID this rose. It is lavendar with white stripes. Very lovely. Little scent. I have never seen anything like it. It was left over from Valentines day. I have taken 5 cuttings to root. I have done this before sucessfully with some of my favorite roses. If you can look at the photos and tell me if you have seen this rose before. I don't think I would be able to look at each of the thousands of roses on this site without going blind and find it's name. Thank you for all of your help ~Desiree

I've not seen anything quite like this rose. Very nice.
I scanned HT/Florist, striped.. and if it's listed there are no photos of it on HMF. Did you ask the florist if they knew? Sometimes they do.
Good Luck

Many of the cut flowers available currently come from either Poulsens, Meilland or Kordes, all European rose producers and growers. You might try a web search for their web sites and browse the photographs, particularly of their florist varieties. Whatever it is, I like it and would love to try growing it. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Hi, I did find the name that was attached to the plastic on the bouquet, "Stranger." I searched and didn't find anything on this site. I am looking for rose wholesale companies in Ecuador. If you come across any information, please contact me, and yes, if I can get any of these to grow, I do want to share. I have not seen anything like this rose in the 25+ years I have been gardening.
Thanks- Desiree

I don't know of any links to any South American wholesale growers. I have run across situations of potted and cut roses being tagged names that there are no references to. I'm also not aware of the South Americans having actually bred nor developed any florist roses. They have tended to simply obtain what's already out there, then use them to plow under the introducers. And, yes, please, should they take, I'd be most interested! Thank you.

After much calling and internet research, I found one site that names the rose only. No pictures. There are some roses I have never heard of on this site too. http://www.agrotropical.andes.com/cut_flowers_roses.htm is the site url. hope to finally find some information to the breeding of this one or perhaps even just the type of rose besides a "florist" rose. Now I am having fun with this one. So far the cuttings are doing great after just 11 days. Wish me luck!

Well it would appear you do have the correct name. On a whim I did a search for rose/stranger and got this link.

I'd be interested in trying to grow this rose as well. Wish I could have found breeder information. The parents would be interesting to see, and of course giving the breeder his/her due.
Good luck with your cuttings.

I asked about this rose on Rosarians Corner and got a response.
It was bred by OLIJ from Holland. I'm unfamilar with this rose house. It is reportedly a good garden rose..that's good news for you.

OK, here is the site of OLIJ's roses with photographs. I hadn't the time to look at all of them, but Stranger isn't listed there.

The information came from an established Hybridizer so I'm confident in the information. Couldn't say why it's not listed. One has to be careful poking around on those sites..the wish list grows too fast. smile

Tell me about it. It is dangerous to just take a walk in my neighborhood. I live in Portland, the city of Roses here in Oregon. I see roses constantly that I know I could just take a cutting and grow some fab roses. My patio is filled with cuttings along with about forty potted roses. =-)) Desiree

Hijacked by roses. Yes, that's the ticket. I suspect that's how I went from 30 roses to nearly 200 in a few years. smile.. gotta love em

He he he, That's the plan. Fortunately, my husband doesn't mind my collection. He is even talking about helping me construct a green house. I hope I hope I hope! We need to actually BUY a home first. That would be too much to move. Hey, my cuttings are doing great!

Wow Cliff,
Your picture of abaracadabra is stunning. Where were you able to find this rose? I had to take a cutting in order to have mine. It is only about 4 in tall now since after spring pruning.

Hi Cliff,
You know, I did read up on Carlton Roses. How is your rose doing? Since mine is growing on it's own roots, I am not sure how it will do. So far, so good. It will be 2 years this spring since I made the cutting. I only had one of the 18 cuttings make it. So far it had exceeded my expectations. It bloomed about 5 times last summer. Let me know how old yours is and how it has done each year so I might know what to expect. This is my favorite rose and certainly the most unusual I have collected so far. Since I am renting and have had to move a couple of times in the last year alone, all of my roses and trees are potted. I baby them to hopefully produce as many blossoms as possible for their confined space. I have only about 40 roses. Among my collection, I do have 5 striped ones including this one. I also have in my portable garden a whisteria, 2 peach trees, a hydrangia, a couple of evergreens and a japanese maple. I am lucky my sweet husband doesn't mind my collecting roses etc. He has even encouraged me to buy some more pots so we can have vegtables this year. I plan on recycling the pots to transplant some of my larger (climbing) roses into these larger pots at the end of the season.
Thanks again on your reply-
Your friend, Desiree

Desiree, I wish I could keep track of how each of my roses is doing each year, but I'm afraid I'm not able to. I can tell you that mine arrived in May 2004 and has matured nicely since then. I wish the blooms were larger, though for their size they're now quite attractive. Good luck with yours.
Cliff

Hi Beth,
I have always enjoyed your beautiful roses. Thank you for sharing them with all of us. I especially like your collection of striped roses.

Thank you Desiree! I am very partial to the striped ones! I love the "odd" and unusual. In fact my favorite color class is the "russets." But the striped ones are in a class all their own, and I love it!!

I love the russets and tawnie shaded roses too. I particularly liked your recent photo of Brownie! Was this photo taken in cool weather? It had the most wonderful soft rose tinted edge. My rose, Irish Creme has mauve edges in cool weather. I, unfortunately only have a small "portable" rose garden in large pots. I am blessed to have a husband that puts up with my collecting 50 or so very heavy pots that we have had to move twice this last year alone.
Thank you again for sharing!

Desiree, I took that picture of BROWNIE yesterday. It's kind of a fluke that it's blooming. The temps have been in the 40's and it's been raining quite a bit off and on. Not exactly rose-blooming weather.
